Guided ski touring/backcountry skiing
For guided ski touring Loen Active cooperate with the certified IFMGA mountainguides from Breogfjell. With Mt. Hoven as the point of departure, a suite of alpine ski touring opportunities opens up. Most of the skiing in this area is in complex terrain and some descents are on glaciers.
Short hike / Skitouring and freeride introduction
From the top station, there is just 150 vertical meter ascent to Mt.Skredfjellet. From here we can choose between several descents from between 300 vertical meters up to 1000 vertical meters, depending on the snow- and weather conditions.
Medium / Long hike
From the top station, we continue up to Mt. Staurinibba (asc 400 vertical meters). From this peak, we'll enjoy the stunning fjord view and prepare for the first 600 m descent towards Lohøgsætra. From this small summer farm, we can either head back to Loen Skylift, go down to Loen Village, or go for a second ascent to Mt. Sundshyrna, Mt. Dispahyrna, or Mt.Geitafjellshyrna. From these peaks, we can drop down 1600 vertical meters to Stryn Valley. After a day you will have a total dsc of 2000 vertical meters with only 1400 m ascent.
Very long
One of the most spectacular traverses in Stryn is the Hoven – Storskredfjellet traverse. This is a long hike with many alternatives. If you would like to do the shortest version, you will have to ascend a total of 1400 vertical meters which gives a total descend of 2100 meters skiing. For better skiing, it is also possible to drop down many of the valleys on the way to Mt. Storskredfjellet.
The program will be adjusted to meet your skiing/hiking skills and snow/weather conditions.
