Stalheim Hotel

Stalheim Hotel has 124 comfortable guestrooms, every single one has its own bathroom and a beautiful view. In addition to being a good starting point for exploring western Norway's most famous fjords and mountains, the hotel has its own private museum.

The beautiful view over the Naeroy Valley, from Stalheim Hotel, has for nearly 200 years been one of the highlights in many a traveler's visit to Western Norway.  Many artists, painters, and poets, both famous and not so famous, have through the years found inspiration to great works of art in the dramatic but at the same time-harmonic landscape.

The hospitality traditions at Stalheim are long and good; it had its beginning in 1647 when the Danish/Norwegian king decided to open up a mail route between Bergen and Oslo and the Stalheim farm became one of the many mail farms along the route.  These mail farms quite soon became places where travelers following the mail route would stop for a  rest and something to eat. By 1750 there were so many travelers stopping at  Stalheim asking for a bed and a meal that the farmer at Stalheim decided to build a separate inn to accommodate and dine the travelers – this inn is now one of the attractions of the Stalheim Folk Museum.
