Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Loen

The Journey from BRU to Loen

This is a long-distance transfer of 1881 km (1169 miles), with a typical driving time of 22 h 9 m. That figure covers driving only. Rest breaks, border formalities, heavy traffic, roadworks and winter weather in the mountains can all add to the total, so plan your onward schedule with a generous buffer. The route is booked less often than airport runs to nearby cities, but it is available on request like any other. Because of the distance, it suits travellers who want a door-to-door journey without luggage handling or changes.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

For couples, small families or solo travellers, a private taxi for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers gives the most personal space on such a long ride. Larger parties can choose a private minibus with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats, so everyone travels together in one vehicle. When you book, count both passengers and suitcases. Hiking gear, camera equipment and winter clothing take up more room than most people expect, and on a trip of this length extra legroom makes a real difference.

Loen as a Destination

Loen is a small village on the Nordfjord in western Norway, in the Stryn area. It is known for steep mountain scenery, glacier landscapes in the surrounding region and the Loen Skylift, a cable car that rises above the fjord. Visitors usually come for hiking, fjord views and nature, so the village is quiet and compact rather than a place of big-city sights.

Where to Stay in Loen

• Hotel Alexandra: a large, long-established hotel in Loen, well known for its fjord setting and a history that goes back to the 19th century.
• Hotel Loenfjord: a hotel in the village that has long welcomed visitors exploring the Nordfjord area.

The nearby town of Stryn also has a range of guesthouses and hotels if you prefer a base with more shops and services.
