ACTIVITIES AND EXPERIENCES
To experience can be so much – anything from taking in the beauty surrounding you while sitting on a bench in the garden to the art adorning the walls inside the hotel.
The hotel is also an excellent starting point for guests wishing to explore both physical activities and cultural experiences. We recommend a hike to Oksen, trekking along Dronningstien or visiting one or several of the mighty waterfalls in Husedalen. Fonna Glacier Ski Resort is also within close proximity. Agatunet with its 30 protected buildings, Skrivargarden at Hesthamar and Hardanger Folkemuseum would also love to share their history with you.
We highly recommend this hike. From Oksen you have a magnificent 360 degrees view of nearly all of Hardanger. The hiking season for this trail is between June and September. Local knowledge says that when there is a cloud over Oksen it will rain the following day…
This beautiful hiking trail offers a stunning panoramic view over Hardangerfjorden, Hardangervidda Nasjonalpark and Folgefonna Nasjonalpark. Dronningstien goes along the edge of the mountain, between Lofthus and Kinsarvik.
The Fonnen Glacier Ski Resort has perfect skiing conditions all summer. Opens at the end of April and closes in September. Ski and equipment available for hire. The place for those who love snow sports and fantastic nature.
