Loen is attracting attention with new highlights that
make for an exceptional mountain experience. In addition
to the world’s longest via ferrata suspension
bridge, the region boasts a new ropeway attraction.
At 53° (133%), the Loen Skylift offers one of the
world’s steepest aerial tram rides. The tramway has
two sets of track ropes and no track rope brake. It
features a strongly overhanging tower standing on
two feet and anchored back with a tie bar. Each cabin
provides ample room for 45 passengers.
The trip on the Loen Skylift takes just five minutes.
The lower terminal lies directly on Loen Fjord with a
landing stage for boats bringing tourists from visiting
cruise liners. The upper terminal is located on the
1,011-meter Mount Hoven. From here, visitors can enjoy
the stunning view across the fjord to the Jostedal
Glacier, which is the biggest on the European mainland.
A new restaurant and a wide range of hiking
trails provide attractions for all types of guests.
