Your olden village and old-church setting plan
Local tip
Olden has two different churches. Visit Nordfjord identifies both the old and new churches in Olden. Our suggestion: save the old-church location rather than assuming every church sign leads to the same building.

Your loen skylift and hoven visitor area plan
Local tip
Lift tickets are flexible, restaurant tables are separate. The operator says lift tickets are not tied to timed departures and offers restaurant reservations separately. Our suggestion: allow for both lift queues rather than treating a restaurant booking as a lift departure slot.

Your briksdal valley trail section plan
Local tip
A valley walk does not include glacier walking. Visit Nordfjord distinguishes the Briksdal trail from guided glacier hikes, which use another glacier because of ice conditions. Our suggestion: keep this activity to the agreed valley section without entering ice.

Port hours vary by ship and date in Olden. Check your sailing itinerary for scheduled arrival and departure, then the onboard app or daily notice for all-aboard, ship time and any last-tender deadline.
