Where you’ll be

Fjord

From the host

Further up the road you find an exciting family park for climbing and activities with more than 1400 meters of tree-and-post climbing courses.
Experience Norddalsfjord or Tafjord UNESCO fjord, quiet, peaceful and outstanding landscape.
Only 3,5 km to the center of Valldal where you find grocery stores, restaurants, coffees, beach and kayak rental. If you like climbing, canyoning, rafting or guided hikes etc. that is also possible.
Valldal is knowen for its great mountains, vast valleys, deep fjords, and historical Norwegian farmland. Its a fruity area and in Summer time you can taste the sweetest strawberries and cherries. Go foraging in the wild forest picking blueberries or visit one of the farmers to buy ready picked berries and fruits.
For rainy days we suggest bowling and local pizza at Kulå Bowling. And if you like an drink or à la carte meal we can recommend 3-4 posibilities.

Just 2 km to the nearest restaurant which is world famous for its strawberry cream cake!
