Via Ferrata to Mt. Hoven in Loen is a spectacular experience. You climb high above the fjord, surrounded by the mountains and the Jostedalsbreen National Park. Join the ride to 1010 meters above sea level. The view is unbelievable.
New suspension bridge - the longest in Europe
The new suspension bridge across a 160 meter deep canyon is 120 meters long, and is the longest via ferrata bridge in Europe. The bridge opened in August 2013. The walk across will definitely give you butterflies. The bridge is located at 750 m.a.s.l. To get there you have to climb the Via Ferrata Loen.
What is a Via Ferrata?
The name Via Ferrata comes from Italy, where they built an "iron road" in the mountains during the first world war. The essence of a modern via ferrata is a steel cable which runs along the route and is periodically (every 3 to 10 metres (9.8 to 33 ft)) fixed to the rock. Using a via ferrata kit the climber can secure themselves to the cable, limiting any fall.
