Nordfjord is a beautiful Norwegian district located adjacent to Europe's largest mainland glacier, known for its spectacular mountain valleys, wild coastal cape region, and rolling, expansive farmland. The district is best known as the home of Norway's Jostedalsbreen National Park, which was established in 1991 to protect the famed glacier of the same name. In the Stryn region, visitors can explore the spectacular Lake Hornindalsvatnet, the deepest lake in Europe, reaching depths of nearly 1,700 feet below sea level. Year-round alpine skiing is popular throughout the district, along with opportunities for biking, glacier hiking, kayaking, and surfing. In Loen, the famed Loen Skylift at Mt. Hoven offers stunning views of the Nordfjord Panorama, traveling a track that spans from fjord to mountain regions in less than five minutes.
