Who said skiing is a winter sport? The Strynefjellet Resort opens in late May and closes in August. It’s one of the best places in northern Europe for summer skiing. Stryn village is near the Nordfjord at the northwest corner of the Jostedalsbreen Glacier. From there, connections run to Strynefjellet by bus departing daily from the Stryn town center in the mornings. Stryn is an old tourist village, although the first tourist came here primarily for fishing and not skiing. The last stretch between Stryn and Strynefjellet, Road 258 (Gamla Strynefjellsveien), is a classic sightseeing route. Built over 100 years ago, it used to be the only link between east and west in this region; today it’s a tourist attraction in itself but, like many scenic roads in Norway, it’s only open in the summer.
If there is one bad thing about skiing at Strynefjellet it is that the weather is unpredictable; if the sun is shining, however, it’s probably the best place for summer skiing in Norway. Galdhøpiggen Ski Center is also popular and has a longer season than Stryn thanks to the higher elevation. The disadvantage with Galdhøpiggen is that there is only one slope and it’s both shorter and shallower than the slopes in Stryn.
