During our journey from Øye to our Nes Gard hotel in Høyheimsvik, we decided to take a break in Loen. It must have been shortly after 10:30 when we stepped into a hotel and politely asked if they could serve us some coffee and thee. The receptionist, a friendly lady, regretfully informed us that breakfast was already over, and coffee and thee wouldn't be available until noon. Disappointed, we pondered our options. However, she saw our dismay and came up with a fantastic suggestion – why not enjoy a cup of coffee on top of Mount Hoven? We hadn't been aware of it, but Loen's main attraction was the Loen Skylift, a cable car that would take us from the fjord level to the breathtaking summit of Mount Hoven. The journey promised awe-inspiring panoramic views of the surrounding landscape, and at the top, there was the renowned Hoven Restaurant, offering a truly unique experience. We decided to take her advice and embarked on the Loen Skylift adventure. Once we reached the mountain's top, we found ourselves engulfed in a dense cloud, unable to see anything. But after a while, the clouds started parting, revealing the scenic beauty in all its glory. The wait was absolutely worthwhile, and to our delight, we even got to witness some skilled paramount jumpers in action, adding an unexpected thrill to our experience - Mount Hoven, Loen, Vestland, Norway
