The hotel has a beautiful location by the water, surrounded by green-clad mountains and with several opportunities for short or longer hikes nearby.
The trip continues by boat on the idyllic lake Bygdin with the surrounding mountains reflecting in the water. Next, hike through the renowned Svartdalen Valley, where you’ll be treated to sweeping views of 2,000-meter peaks. Your day concludes at Gjendebu, the Norwegian Trekking Association’s oldest lodge, set at 995 meters above sea level. Known for its delicious local food, Gjendebu offers a unique experience with its rich wildlife, scenic mountain views, and the stunning emerald-green Gjende Lake.

From Gjendebu, continue your journey between the lakes Bygdin and Gjende, through the scenic Veslådalen Valley, to the historic Eidsbugarden. Spend the night at Fondsbu, a DNT cabin celebrated for its warm hospitality, cozy atmosphere, and delicious local cuisine.
The final leg of your journey takes you from Eidsbugarden to Flåm, where you’ll experience the gateway to Fjord Norway.
