Innvik's scenery is a little less "dramatic" than that of other villages along the fjords of West Norway, with gentle slopes leading up to the mountains, which are high enough: Storlogpiken 1554 metres above sea level (just under 5,100 feet); Skarsteinfjellet 1567 metres (just over 5,100 feet), and Ceciliekruna 1717 metres (just over 5,600 feet). Excellent for fell walking. Many well-marked paths. Storlogpiken has got its name from a mountain lake at a height of 1000 metres (just over 3,000 feet), Loga. The word "log" means "lake" in Old Norse, and has the same origin as the English "lake" and the Italian "lago".
The beautiful Innvik Valley (600 metres/2,000 feet above sea level) is a typical U-shaped valley with numerous "seter" (mountain/summer farms) and holiday cabins. Superb walking area. There is a road up to the valley frm the village.
If you feel particularly energetic, you can walk right up to the glacier.
You can swim in the fjord, diving in from the rocks or wade more gently in from small sandy beaches. With no ocean currents, the water temperature can be surprisingly high. If you prefer to stay on the surface, take a boat trip - or try your luck at fishing.
