2 Best Sights in Loen, The Western Fjords

Norway’s steepest cable car line has an average ascent of 45 degrees, which offers spectacular views of the fjord. It’s also relatively speedy, traveling from the lower station in Loen up 1,097 meters (3,600 feet) to Mt. Hoven in just five minutes; some people prefer to take the cable car up and walk back down the mountain. Despite pricey tickets, the cable car is a major draw. The skylift dangles you almost 171 meters (560 feet) above the ground, and the journey is well worth conquering any fear of heights you may have. At the top of Mt. Hoven, there's a viewpoint and a restaurant.
