Our favourite rooms
Looking for the most sweeping of views? Spring for a Corner Suite and your panorama will be punctuated only by the fireplace. This spacious suite also has views of the mountains from your pillow.
Poolside
Gingerly settle into the mountain-facing alfresco hot tub – no matter the weather – after a day exploring the fjords.
Spa
The spa is next to the hygge-inducing hot tub, with more of those alpine views. There’s a stress-melting sauna, a relaxation area and two treatment rooms. Choose from facials, classic massages and beautifying mani-pedis; all treatments use potions and unguents by Norwegian brand Sprekenhus.
Packing tips
Bring your patterned woolly jumpers and most stylish rain slicker for cosily warm and dry (and photogenic) outdoor pursuits. And remember to throw in a bathing suit for the outdoor hot tub.
