Duration 3 hrs
Hike from the pier to the top of Mount Huaren, a two-hour ascent that will present you with a glorious, panoramic view of the natural beauty that surrounds Olden.
After walking from the pier, you will soon begin to ascend a natural path through a lush forest and up toward Mount Huaren. Along the way, openings in the forest will present you with uninterrupted views of the spectacular landscape below.
The elevated vantage point will offer a unique perspective of tiny Olden, which nestles along the mouth of the Oldeelva River. The higher you ascend the more stunning the scenery and the more invigorating the mountain air.
Approximately two hours later, you will reach the Mount Huaren viewpoint, which rises 1,250 feet above sea level. Although it may not seem possible, the views from the peak will be even more glorious.
Sparkling Nordfjord, the sixth-longest fjord in Norway, will stretch out before you. Snow-capped mountains will loom in the distance with pristine forests blanketing the lower regions right to the water’s edge. Everywhere you look, the glory of Mother Nature will be on display.
From this lofty vantage point, you should also be able to see the village of Loen just a few miles to the north. Some of Norway’s oldest farms are here because the glacially formed moraine soil is extraordinarily fertile.
Following a rest break at the viewpoint, you will follow the trail back down the mountain to the pier, a hike that should take a bit less time than the ascent. less
Duration 1 hr
Zip through the typically calm, glassy waters of Nordfjord in a high-speed boat, enjoying an exhilarating ride and some of the most majestic views in this part of Norway.
After a short walk along the pier, you will suit up in waterproof gear and board an RIB (Rigid Inflatable Boat) that is ideal for cruising Nordfjord. The vessel is designed to zip through the water at a high speed yet provide a remarkably smooth ride.
As soon as the engine fires up, you will feel the power of the RIB as you head into the fjord, the sixth longest in Norway. You can expect an exhilarating, adrenaline-charged experience.
Being so speedy, the vessel can cover a wide area quickly, so you will see a surprising variety of scenery in just a short time. Natural highlights will include snow-capped mountains and dense forests blanketing the lower regions right to the water’s edge.
If the land seems surprisingly green, it is because the soil is glacially formed moraine and extraordinarily fertile. Many of the oldest farms in Norway are in this area, some dating back more than 2,000 years.
While zipping along the surface of Nordfjord, you will also enjoy a unique perspective of your cruise ship and the tiny village of Olden, which nestles along the mouth of the Oldeelva River. After approximately 30 minutes on the water, the RIB will return to the pier, leaving you with lasting memories of this one-of-a-kind experience.
Duration 3 hrs
Enjoy a sea-level perspective of Nordfjord by kayaking the pristine waterway and admiring the gorgeous natural setting that stretches as far as you can see.
After a short walk along the pier, you will slip into a 2-person kayak and paddle off into the typically glassy waters of Nordfjord, the sixth longest fjord in Norway. Kayaking offers an experience unlike any other on the fjord because you can proceed at a leisurely pace, allowing for maximum opportunities to take in the extraordinary scenery.
There will be plenty to see along the way. Natural highlights will include snow-capped mountains and dense forests blanketing the lower regions right to the water’s edge. You don’t have to paddle far from shore to feel surrounded, even dwarfed by the majesty of nature. You can expect the experience to be as awe-inspiring as the scenery.

You may even catch sight of birds soaring effortlessly overhead in the updrafts rising from the steep sides of the mountains.
Finally, after kayaking for approximately two and a half hours, you will return to the pier.
