If you’re travelling to Olden for the first time or returning again for the views. Olden is a beautiful destination with peaceful nature. This stunning village sits at the mouth of the Oldeelva river and is known for its jaw dropping traditional Nordic fjords. With fascinating history of buildings in the traditional Norwegian styles, and a popular destination for hiking the Briksdal Glacier. If you want to hit new heights and view Olden from a birds eye views, hop onto the Leon Skylift. Devour a traditional Norwegian Waffle whilst sipping coffee or explore the trails of the fjords.

I have compiled everything into this guide which I learnt whilst in port. From locals advise to friends onboard and even google. Most of these are a short walk away however, I always advise to plan your routes to ensure enough time to explore and not miss your ships departure.
