Active holiday in historical surroundings

With Kviknes Hotel as your base, everything is in place to experience the best of Sognefjord and the surrounding mountains. Whether you want to hike, paddle, explore local culture – or just slow down in our lush garden – you'll find great experiences right outside your door.

Kviknes Hotel is a natural starting point for those who want to explore fjord arms, glaciers and magnificent mountain peaks – and there are still rooms available.

Take advantage of the many attractions and culinary treasures of the art village of Balestrand, or use us as a base for exploring Sogn's long fjords, mighty glaciers and lofty mountain peaks.
