You will receive the vehicle that best fits the number of travelers in your group, ranging from a sedan to a van for groups of up to 7. Depending where you travel, you can book anything from a sedan comparable to a Toyota Corolla to a Mercedes V-Class to a Classic Cuban Car. While the exact model may vary, we always ensure that the vehicle provided meets your needs in terms of safety, reliability, and comfort. You may be upgraded to a larger vehicle class free of charge depending on availability. Since our largest vehicle seats 7, for groups larger a combination of vehicles will be used. We will send you the exact vehicle details a few days before your trip.
Everywhere except the USA, drivers will supply appropriate child seats (just let us know during booking). In the USA, certain states require you to supply your own child seats.
Know more about traveling from Loen
Loen is located in western Norway's Nordfjord region and is most easily reached by car, which allows you to enjoy the spectacular scenic drive. The nearest airports are Sandane (Anda) and Sogndal, both of which are small regional airports. From Bergen, the drive takes roughly 4 and a half hours, passing through some of Norway's most iconic fjord scenery.
Loen is a great destination for families. The Loen Skylift is suitable for all ages, and the calm waters of Lake Lovatnet are wonderful for gentle kayaking and rowing. The village center is quiet and relaxed. Some hiking trails are steep and better suited to older children, but there are easier walks around the lake and valley floor for all fitness levels.
Tipping is not a strong custom in Norway, as wages are generally high and service is included in prices. That said, rounding up the bill or leaving a modest tip of 5 to 10 percent at restaurants is appreciated for good service. There is no expectation of tipping at cafes, hotels, or for taxi rides.
The Loen Skylift is the unmissable experience, whisking visitors from the fjord to the top of Mount Hoven at 1,011 meters (3,317 feet) in just five minutes for panoramic views. The Loen Via Ferrata, hiking trails in Lodalen valley, kayaking on Lake Lovatnet, and glacier walks to Briksdalsbreen are all popular adventures in and around the village.
Norway uses the Norwegian krone (NOK). The country is largely cashless, and card payments are accepted almost everywhere, including small cafes and rural businesses. ATMs are available in nearby towns like Stryn. It's worth notifying your bank before you travel to avoid any issues with card payments abroad.
Summer (June through August) is the most popular time to visit, with long daylight hours, lush green landscapes, and the full range of outdoor activities available, including hiking, kayaking, and the Loen Skylift. Spring and fall offer quieter visits with beautiful scenery. Winter brings snow-covered mountains and lower prices, though some activities may be limited.
Norwegian is the official language of Norway. In Loen and the surrounding Nordfjord region, the local dialect is strong, but English is widely spoken and understood, particularly among younger people and those working in hospitality and tourism. You will have no difficulty communicating in English throughout your visit.
The Jostedalsbreen National Park, just outside Loen, is home to mainland Europe's largest glacier. The area supports eagles, deer, and a variety of alpine birds. Lake Lovatnet is a striking turquoise-colored glacial lake perfect for fishing and wildlife spotting. The surrounding mountains and valleys offer some of the most dramatic scenery in all of Norway.
