Loen's undisputed centre of action is a full-service resort and dominates tourism in the val-
ley. It offers two restaurants, two cafes, bars, a nightclub, swimming pools (both indoor
and open), a spa and fitness centre, a tennis court and marina. Run as a family hotel since
1884, it's managed nowadays by the fifth generation. Summer family deals are good.

Jun-Sep, Fri-Sun only

The Loenfjord offers waterside accommodation that's a little less expensive than the Alex-
andra, to which it belongs. It's altogether gentler on the eye, less crowded and offers bi-
cycle and rowing-boat hire.
Stryn
Pop 2300
The small town of Stryn, de facto capital of upper Nordfjord, is a modern regional hub. It
does sprawl, but retains some of its original wooden houses along the river and, in any
case, its 'real' vibe is nicely energising if you've been in the wild for a while.
