Overlooking the breathtaking Storfjord and Sunnmøre Alps, Storfjord Hotel was handbuilt by skilled craftsmen using traditional Lafta (cross logging with whole timbers). This way of building has been part of Norway’s culture for hundreds of years and houses still stand today after many generations. Today’s modern technology does lend a helping hand but original techniques remain the same. It’s atmosphere and warmth is unique offering traditional and luxurious accommodation. The hotel has six spacious rooms all individual in design and each with luxury bathroom suite and some with classical four poster beds. Every room has a balcony with magnificent views.

Dinner is served in the timbered hall and drinks can be enjoyed in a relaxed atmosphere on the gallery landing overlooking Glomset Bay, Storfjord and the Alps. A set menu made from local ingredients of the highest quality is prepared by the hotels chef. Meals are planned in advance and any dietry restrictions or vegetarian requests can be catered for.

Touring from the hotel is stunning and dramatic in all directions with Aalesund and the islands to the west and the dramatic scenery of the fjords and mountains to the east. Storfjorden is the main fjord that connects with UNESCO Heritage Geirangerfjord and nearby Hjørundfjord. There are summer boat excursions to both fjords, which when combined with a car allow you to visit the towns and appreciate this picturesque landscape.
