Highlights

Test yourself on the tough, but rewarding Loen via ferrata in Norway.
Gaze at the beautiful surroundings from the top of Mount Hoven.
Enjoy a scenic ride down from the peak's summit on the Loen Skylift.

Description

The steep hillsides of Nordfjord in Norway are tremendous. A true wonder to gaze upon, they are even more incredible when seen up close and climbed. And on this full day adventure, you will get to do just that, while traversing the Loen via ferrata all the way to the summit of Mount Hoven (1.011m).

The Loen via ferrata can be challenging at points. The hike as well as the via ferrata itself is arduous. As a result, participants on this trip should be in good physical condition and have prior experience in a similar environment.

There are a number of great highlights that you will get to experience on this trip on the Loen via ferrata. One of those highlights is the incredible Gjølmunnebrua suspension bridge. The bridge, at 120 meters long, is the longest via ferrata bridge in all of Europe. And because it rises 160 meters above the canyon below, the views, while dizzying, are astounding. Another highlight is the hike itself, which is full of great views of the natural landscape and will take about 1.5 hours. It will also take you to an altitude of approximately 440 meters. And finally, you will get to enjoy a beautifully scenic ride on the Loen Skylift. This comfortable ride will take you back down from the summit of Mount Hoven.

This particular via ferrata is definitely for the more experienced, adventure inclined person. But the challenge it provides is certainly offset by the magical rewards it gives. So if you want to enjoy a difficult outdoor trek that will give you a number of memorable views, just send us a request.

We can also guide you on another Norwegian via ferrata trip near Bergen.

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
