Day trip ideas from Nordfjordeid From Nordfjordeid, you can branch out to nearby fjord villages, glacier valleys, and rugged coastlines on easy day trips, so you see more without long days on the road. These day trips also fit well as private tours shaped around what you like, whether that’s light hiking, local history, or just big views and photo stops. Loen and Lovatnet: A short hop east brings you to Loen, where the calm, turquoise water of Lovatnet sits under steep peaks, and a quiet valley road gives you easy pullouts for photos, picnics, and short lakeside walks. If you want a mellow day, stick to flat paths and shoreline cafés; if you want more action, add paddling on the lake or continue to Kjenndal for glacier views at the head of the valley, and your tour can linger where the light and reflections are best. Olden and Briksdal Glacier: Olden is the gateway to a classic glacier valley, with a well‑marked path that winds past waterfalls and boulder fields to viewpoints facing the Briksdal ice. You can keep it simple with a leisurely valley stroll and coffee at the trailhead, or go farther up the trail for stronger hiking and bigger scenery; it suits photographers and anyone who likes a clear goal with plenty of places to pause along the way. Geirangerfjord: For a day built around Norway’s most famous fjord, head toward Hellesylt and continue into Geiranger, where steep walls, old farm sites, and switchback roads give you those wide, layered views. You can pair a scenic ferry crossing with roadside viewpoints like Flydalsjuvet and Ørnesvingen, mix in a short waterfall walk, and use a day tour format to balance driving and time on the ground. Stadlandet and West Cape: Drive west to the Stadlandet peninsula for wide Atlantic horizons at West Cape, sandy curves at Hoddevik and Ervik, and small fishing villages that show everyday coastal life. If sea air and open space recharge you, this loop delivers, and you can add a surf lesson, a lighthouse stop, or wartime history sites depending on your interests and the weather. Selje and Selja Monastery: The sheltered town of Selje makes a relaxed coastal day, and when conditions allow you can take a short boat across to Selja island to explore the monastery ruins tied to the legend of St. Sunniva. It’s a good pick if you like early history, stonework, and cliffside paths, and you can round it out with beach time in Selje or a viewpoint hike above the bay. A private tour with a local guide is the best way to really get to know a place. Skip the crowds, follow your interests, and see a side of Nordfjordeid most travellers miss.
