Turtagrø Hotel

Turtagrø Hotel has traditions dating back to the 1880s. This hotel is located 884 meters above sea level, at the foot of Vest-Jotunheimen. In the historic Swiss villa from 1880, you live in the same building as famous climbing pioneers from the end of the 19th century. The main house from 2002 was designed by architects Jarmund and Vigsnæs, and has been awarded for good architecture. It has modern rooms, a restaurant, lounge and a mountain library. WiFi is free. Every day we serve a breakfast buffet and a 3-course dinner based on seasonal ingredients. The hotel is a gathering place for mountain people. The area is unique for summit ski tours. Our guides can take you safely through the mountains both skiing in winter and climbing in summer. There are also hikes from the hotel, both to 2,000-metre peaks such as Fannaråken, and easy hikes that provide a panoramic view of the mountains in Hurrungane. The Sognefjord is 16 km away.

Amazing location, delicious food, helpful staff

Pros: The location - the bus ride up and down was beautiful. I did Fanarkin from the hostel and very much enjoyed.

Cons: It’s not a very social place. I stayed in an empty dorm room for three nights. As a solo traveller, it would have been nice to have some socialisation facilitated.

I recommend the Swiss Chalet for an overnight stay, more would be unconfortable

Pros: We liked the bed quality, great blanket ; the hot shower

Cons: The bedroom we got was a 4 bed dorm (but only 2 of us). I can't imagine 4 people staying in there. Space is very limited. 1000 Nok/person is pricy for this
