Sightseeing/activities close to the hotel
Situated in scenic surroundings on the shoreline, away from the noise of traffic on the main road. The hotel is the ideal base for activities close by:
- Swimming in the fjord
- Fishing
- Marked hiking trails in the district
- A wide range of excursions.
Winter
|
It’s great to be here in winter too.
The hotel is only 20 minutes’ drive from Utvikfjell Mountain, with 3 ski tows and many ski trails. Easy, undulating terrain, ideal for short and long family ski trips. Drop into the modern ski lodge by the road for refreshments. Others will take a drive to Loen and Hotel Alexandra's fantastic aquatic complex, with three kinds of saunas, health showers, indoor and outdoor pools, massage or spa treatments. When the weather is unkind, a family can make a great day of it here. |

Autumn
|
This is the time of the year when the fjord’s mountainsides are ablaze with vibrant colour: green, gold, red, bronze, orange, with a dusting of snow on the mountaintops.
Many list Autumn as their favourite time of year. The air is clearer, the days can still be warm, wild mushrooms are waiting to be picked, and it is simply a marvellous time to be in the mountains, especially if you are wanting to be alone! |
|
Summer
|
Summertime is a lively time in Nordfjord.
It’s the high season, in the mountains, on the fjord, people are fishing, swimming, skiing or hiking. Everything you could wish for in mountain, fjord and valley activities. |
|
Spring
|
Spring is perhaps the most beautiful time in this area.
The landscape turns from white to green early, and the weather is often better than might be expected. Flowers appear in the garden, trees bloom, and it feels good to get a foretaste of summer, long before the snows have loosened their grip on the mountains. |
