Nestled on the hillside overlooking Storfjord and the Sunmøre Alps, Storfjord Hotel offers a peaceful stay in a handcrafted, timber building with a grass roof. The 30 rooms, scattered across a clutch of Nordic cabins, have a traditional yet modern design. All provide you with views of either the forest or fjord, and many include balconies or terraces.
The Kitchen restaurant serves a menu that features fresh local fare, served in a quietly understated setting that allows the food and the views to take the spotlight. Here, you can browse the hotel’s extensive collection of cheeses from local producers and the locally brewed ale, Storfjordbrygg.
Spend your time here exploring the many hiking trails that surround you, or you can use the hotel’s various bicycles, snowshoes, kayaks, and even a small fishing boat. If you’re looking to fully unwind and relax, you also have access to the outdoor Jacuzzi and a selection of spa treatments.
OUR OPINION:
We find this is an exceptional hotel for those who want to slow down and unwind in the presence of some of Norway’s most impressive landscapes.
