WE ARRIVED ON A CRUISE SHIP AND BOOKED THROUGH AN INDEPENDENT COMPANY We booked through a company independent from our cruise ship for the shuttle ride to Loen Skylift, which was more economical than the cruise ship excursion price. It was an 'all day' ticket, so you could come and go at times you pleased, which was an advantage so you could gage the weather. LARGE GONDOLA When you arrive, you go up some stairs elevator and then present your ticket to enter the 'loading zone' to await the cable car. ("Skylift"). The cabin fits about 35 people, so be ready to be shoulder to shoulder. TERRACE, RESTAURANT, GIFT SHOP AND TRAILS Once up the top, there is a terrace roof with views over the fjord where we took several photos. There's also a lower terrace, (where we saw a lone sheep), a gift shop, restaurant and trails. We could see our cruise ship docked below. RECOMMEND NOT GOING FIRST THING IN THE DAY We were lucky to have *decent* weather in August 2025, but it was windy and cold enough for 4 layers of clothing, gloves and a hat. Fortunately, it was somewhat sunny, allowing for teal fjord waters in our photos. (See my photos). I wouldn't recommend going first thing in the morning as we noticed it seemed to take some time in most of our Norwegian ports for the weather to clear. (We were up the skylift around midday). PRICEY RESTAURANT We had some soup and hot drinks at the restaurant while we were up there to make it more of an experience. The restaurant is beautifully decorated with great views, but expensive. Staff are not Norwegian and the host was a bit gruff and said we could only have an hour to dine since we didn't have a reservation. (That was enough). They offered free WiFi, which is always a bonus when you're visiting from a cruise ship. WE WANDERED THE TRAILS FOR A SHORT TIME We wandered a trail for a short time (10 mins?) up to some stone stacks and came back down. It was a little uncomfortably windy and cold to do more and we didn't really know where we were going regarding taking the trails further. We could see zip-liners in the distance which looked fun. The toilets/WCs were clean and busy with tourists. They could have done with a hook on the door. The gift store had quality items. WE SPENT ABOUT 2 HRS AT THE TOP, INCLUDING LUNCH Including eating lunch at the restaurant, we spent about 2 hours at the Loen Skylift from start to finish. (Allow about an another hour to include transportation to and from the skylift from the cruise dock). THE MAIN ATTRACTION Other than walking in the town to see a few churches, a waterfall and shops, this seemed to be the main activity near the port of Olden, so I recommend it.
