WALAKER HOTEL

The quiet town of Solvorn has changed very little in the past 150 years, set between mesmerising fjords and tree-covered mountains, and it is here that Norway’s oldest family-run hotel – since 1690 – also continues to preserve a piece of this beautiful region’s history. Nine generations have nurtured Walaker Hotel’s quaint former inn and trading post; its thoroughly traditional and comfortable rooms; and the roses, lilacs and fruit trees that bloom in its garden on the very edge of the calm blue Sognefjord.

The landscape intensifies much of the hotel’s charm: day after day can be spent exploring its scenic surrounds (a walker’s paradise, for strolls and ambitious excursions alike), while the kitchen is served by the fjords, forests and local farms – be it seafood, berries, cheeses or homemade juices. As for indoor entertainment, a gallery built using timbers from a 16th-century wooden church houses exhibitions by Norwegian artists.
