The hotel with a view of beautiful Geiranger

About the Hotel

Here, the fjord rests between steep mountain walls and snow-capped peaks, while the fresh mountain air sharpens your senses. Although the panorama is dramatic, it feels deeply peaceful – a place many travelers cross the world to experience at least once in a lifetime.

29 hotel rooms

The hotel offers 29 small and charming rooms, located on the second and third floors (without lift). Though compact in size, each room is thoughtfully designed for restful comfort, with quality beds, soft down duvets, hotel pillows, a coffee machine, and complimentary WiFi.

Several rooms face the Geirangerfjord, where steep mountains rise straight from the water. Here, the landscape feels close and ever-present. Simple, peaceful and intimate – the rooms invite you to slow down and let the view become part of your stay.

The Story – The First Travellers and the Rise of Geiranger

Before the mountain road to Skjåk opened in 1889, Geiranger was a remote village at the very end of the fjord. The few visitors who arrived came by boat and rarely stayed long.

Yet everything changed within a decade. As roads were carved into the mountains and steamships began to anchor in the fjord, Geiranger transformed into a destination. By the turn of the century, around 70 tourist ships visited each season.

In a village of just over 400 people – most of them farming families – a new era quietly began.
