Tall mountains, fjords, glaciers, waterfalls, and lakes in deep green valleys characterise the stunning nature in Stryn, a municipality in Nordfjord in Fjord Norway.

The beautiful surroundings make Stryn the ideal destination for a range of activities including kayaking, via ferratas, hiking, mountain biking, and skiing!

Boost your mood and relieve tension at Alexandra Bath.

The pools are heated all year, and the outdoor pool is equipped with numerous built-in massage functions.

Looking for an airy adventure?

Via Ferrata Loen is a fun experience for the whole family. Climb high above the fjord, close to the mountains and Jostedalsbreen National Park. The views are unbelievable throughout the route!

For an adrenaline kick:
Loen offers Norway's most difficult via ferrata route, and the longest via ferrata bridge in all of Europe!

Steep mountains and incredible views make the Stryn area a popular destination for trekkers.

Surrounded by waterfalls, towering peaks, and Jostedalsbreen National Park, lies one of Norway's most enchanted valleys, Oldedalen.

Climb Mount Klovane for a breathtaking view you won't forget.

Or hike to the top of Kattanakkjen mountain, where you can see the Briksdalsbreen glacier far down below, surrounded by rugged mountains and cascading waterfalls.

Skiing in summer?!

At Stryn Summer Ski you can do just that.

Situated on the Tystigbreen glacier, the centre offers ski hire and lift passes. Tall mountains and the cool Nordic climate make it possible to ski almost all year round.

Remember to bring sunscreen!

Join a guided hike on the Tystig glacier on Strynefjellet mountain. Experience the magnificent glacier up close with the help of ice axes and crampons in this thrilling and unique adventure.
