Kviknes Hotel, Balestrand Hotels
Grand family-owned Sognefjord hotel blending historic charm, modern comfort, and scenic dining since 1877
Nestled amidst the breathtaking scenery of towering mountains and the shimmering sea, the Kviknes Hotel, boasting 190 rooms, has been a cherished, family-owned establishment since its founding in 1877. It remains to this day one of the most significant and renowned hotels within the stunning Sognefjord region. A particular highlight of the hotel is its historic wing. Guests will find an impressively decorated first floor. The decor features a wonderful collection of original art and carefully preserved antiques. While the historic wing presents an old-world charm, a more recent, though less visually striking, annex houses the majority of the guest rooms. However, many of these rooms within the annex have undergone thoughtful renovations, providing modern comfort. Regardless of where guests are accommodated, all have access to a scenic and picturesque dining room. The dining room boasts a well-stocked and diverse wine list. Guests also have the option of enjoying the convenience of room service. This is a service often considered a rarity within the fjord regions.
Hotel Information
Wifi – Check On RequestNorway
Similar in size to California, but with only five million people, Norway has plenty of open space to explore. Its unique fjords, mountains, and picturesque villages give this outdoor adventure paradise a unique character.
When is the best time to visit?
Norway's latitude, with part of the country located north of the Arctic Circle, creates pronounced seasonal differences. Hike and cycle the Scandinavian landscapes, and experience the midnight sun during summer; go dogsledding, skiing, snowmobiling, and see the northern lights in winter.
Where to go in Norway?
The go-to destinations for many travelers are Bergen, the charming villages along the world-famous Sognefjord like Aurland and Balestrand, and the scenic Lofoten Islands. A cultural must-visit is the city of Oslo with its many museums and rich history, while Tromsø and Alta are ideal destinations to chase the Aurora Borealis in winter and the Midnight Sun in summer. There are also plenty of ways to experience Norway off the beaten path, with dramatic landscapes and rich culture around every corner.
How many days do I need?
Some visitors breeze through Norway in three days, and while you can quickly tour the country and get a feel for its natural scenery, we recommend planning a week or more to really take in all that it has to offer.
Getting Around Norway
It's common to use multiple modes of transport when exploring Norway. The "best way" to go depends on the region you're in and how far you're going. Ferries are great for witnessing the powerful fjords, while many of the national parks lend themselves well to road trips—and if you're heading all the way to the Arctic Circle, domestic flights are usually the way to go.
