Fjærland Fjordstove Hotel

Fjærland Fjordstove Hotel is in Mundal, 6848 Fjærland, a small village on the Fjærlandsfjord in Vestland county, Norway. Mundal is designated the Norwegian Book Town (Bokbyen), and several of its old buildings house second-hand bookshops, which gives the village an unusual literary character for such a remote fjord setting. The hotel is a small historic property and offers double rooms and family rooms. The Norwegian Glacier Museum (Norsk Bremuseum) is nearby, and the Bøyabreen and Supphellebreen glacier arms of the Jostedalsbreen, the largest glacier on the European mainland, are reachable by short drives or walks from the village. The Fjærland fjord is one of the quietest of the large fjords and is sheltered by steep mountain walls, and ferries and sightseeing boats connect the village to Balestrand and the Sognefjord. The hotel has a restaurant, and Wi-Fi is available, with the historic building itself counted among the amenities. Dining usually features regional ingredients such as fjord fish, lamb and berries, and the menu is modest in scale compared with the larger resort hotels of the region. No spa or pool is listed. The service character is intimate and informal, suited to couples, hikers, families and travellers who enjoy slow travel, and the staff can usually advise on glacier walks, the museum and the road connections to Sogndal and Balestrand. Listed rates run roughly 1,200 to 2,400 NOK per night, depending on season and room type. The village is small, with limited shops and services, so visitors normally plan meals and supplies ahead. Operating dates and opening hours can vary by season, so confirmation before travel is advisable. The hotel is a quiet base for exploring the Jostedalsbreen glacier arms and the Sognefjord area.
