panorama of Storfjord and the
Sunnmøre Alps. The original log
house, of traditional Norwegian
style with grass-sod roof, became
a hotel in 2007 and expanded to
include larger dining areas and two
new buildings handcrafted in the old
style –with sheep’s wool placed in
the gaps between logs for insulation.
The meaning of “room with a view”
is well defined here, as many of the
rooms feature private porches, and
throughout my stay, I was spellbound
– gazing across verdant hills against
the backdrop of steep, snow-capped
mountains plunging into cobalt
glacier waters. With hiking paths,
kayaking, candlelit dining and
inviting resting spots, Storfjord
Hotel is an idyllic retreat to relax
and recharge.
