Nature experiences and landscapes
Sandane is surrounded by magnificent nature, with the fjord on one side and the mountains on the other. Just above the centre you’ll find one of Norway’s finest hiking areas, here in Trivselsskogen right by Sandane town centre. You can start the walk right in the middle of town, and a selection of trails will lead you up to a fantastic viewpoint where you can look down on Holviksfossen. Along the way, locals have turned the path into an adventure in itself.
For those who want to head higher into the mountains, the area offers several great hiking destinations. Ryssdalshornet and Haugsvarden provide wide views over Gloppefjorden and the surrounding mountain landscape, and are perfect for anyone who wants to combine nature and views.
Kandal is a small side valley east of Sandane, known for its calm and idyllic landscape. Here you’ll find farms that have produced food for generations, surrounded by lush pastures and beautiful cultural landscapes.
Activities for the whole family
Sandane is an eldorado for both small and big experiences. At Trivselshagen you’ll find a swimming facility, climbing, and indoor activities – perfect whatever the weather. Outside, a network of gravel roads and trails makes it easy to explore the area on foot or by bike, whether you want a leisurely trip or to try trail cycling.
By the fjord, the beaches are shallow and family-friendly, and are well suited for swimming on warm summer days. You can also paddle on Gloppefjorden or try your luck fishing – both in the fjord and in the salmon river Gloppenelva.
At Stall Rygg you can join a horseback ride in the dramatic fjord landscape, an experience suitable for the whole family. In the surrounding mountains you’ll also find a wide selection of fishing lakes for those who want quiet days in nature.
