Stryn & Nordfjord
Enjoy breathtaking alpine ski touring scenery with glaciers, fjords, and snow-coated mountains—perfect for skiing, trekking, and climbing in winter and summer!
In winter and early summer, the small local ski lifts and the many mountain roads give easy access to the mountains. The cable car Loen Skylift brings you directly to Mt.Hoven straight from the fjord! Stryn provides the best late-season snow (in the world?) around the Stryn Summerski chairlift from April to July. We start the ski tour from the valley or from one of the mountain roads. If you want to combine skiing with other activities like surfing, trail biking, spa, fishing, and climbing, you will have plenty of alternatives in Nordfjord – the All In One Fjord destination!
In summer, we offer climbing, trekking, and glacier hikes from our base in Stryn. Try one of the nearby sport climbing crags or book a mountain guide for one of the traverses or ridges.
Climate and best season
The snow conditions around Stryn are often good, above 400-500 mas and near 1000 mas, as it is usually several meters of snow! There’s a reason why Jostedalsbreen Glacier is the biggest glacier on the European continent and covers a large part of this municipality.
Skiing down to the fjord is often possible from early February to the end of March. The inner part of Nordfjord has lots of mountain roads and small ski resorts, which provide easy access to the snow even in seasons with less snow. This makes Stryn one of the safest spots for your skiing holiday. And don’t forget! Stryn offers some of the best late-season snow in the world!
Accommodation
The region is a mecca for tourists and travelers in the summer season. There are campsites, cabins, hotels, guest houses, shopping, bath & spa, and much more. If you need help finding accommodation, we would love to help you! Almost all villages in Nordfjord have larger grocery stores and offer many restaurant opportunities. Unless otherwise specified by your guide, you must bring your lunch in the mountains.
Transfer and local transport
Getting to Nordfjord by bus from cities like Bergen, Trondheim, and Oslo is easy. The nearest airports are Hovden Ørsta/Volda Airport and Sandane Airport. However, it is an advantage with a rental car to get to the meeting point for the different tours. We will help you organize a rental car or minibus if you choose public transport. Rental cars/minibusses are usually not included in the prices.
Equipment rental
Our guides provide the necessary safety equipment for our arrangements.
