The location was perfect. We loved staying in our own little apartment where we could choose to cook or eat out. It’s a short walk from the ferry, which was wonderful because it was raining when we arrived at Balestrand.

Beautiful property, well kept with lots of history.
Beautiful village with easy walks for exploring. We walked to our hotel after disembarking the ferry. Enjoyed seeing apple orchards, learning about the early textiles, beautiful Viking statue called Balehaugen in the middle of a residential area. Highly recommend the Midtnes Hotel and the Baalee Restaurant.

A very historic little town in the middle of nowhere.
A very historic little town in the middle of nowhere. IF you plan on doing something other than hiking around the town, like crossing over the fjord to see the Stave Church... best plan ahead. The ferry over there only goes once a day... we missed it.

Take the fast ferry (4 hours) from Bergen and slow down and enjoy the glorious surroundings. Be prepared to relax and enjoy the quiet. We ate our meals and enjoyed cocktails at the Kviknes Hotel. We slept at the Balestrand Hotel and enjoyed the quiet.

Arriving by ferry drops you at the heart of the town.
Arriving by ferry drops you at the heart of the town. Walking south along Kong Beles Veg for about 2 kilometers affords beautiful views of St. Olaf's church, the picturesque valley, the beach, the hills, and several "Swiss-style" charming old houses. A must-see is Balestrand's little beach and the deep, clear pools beside it where I sat for ages soaking up the sound of the water's tranquil lapping on the rocks and watching fish zip around way below the surface of the crystal-clear water. I even caught people swimming and sunning themselves at midday in late September! There were not many dining options post-tourist-season, but I had the soup at the chocolatery called Holmen within the main triangle of town, and though I found it overpriced (compared to prices in Bergen), it was delicious.

Our family absolutely loved staying at Frydenlund near Balestrand. Everything in the property's information was accurate. Great hosts who helped us when we had some questions, Views are wonderful and several areas in which to relax and enjoy them. Check-in was easy as there was a door code. While we would love to return to this part of Norway we would only do so if we could also stay at Frydenlund.

Beautiful surroundings.
Beautiful surroundings. Very fun to travel with a speedboat combined with historical tour. Cider house had delicious food. Highly recommendable. Perfect place for anyone who loves outdoor activities and want to be in a beautiful environment.
Comfortable, cozy apartment in the heart of Balestrand within 2mins walking distance to Sognefjord! The apartment is fully equipped with everything - kitchen, towels, clean bed linens, a lively living room with dining table, big bathroom and a beautiful front yard! The owner was incredibly kind, responsive and even offered a personal blow dryer on request. Really enjoyed our stay and would definitely book again!
Breakfast was a plentiful, beautiful buffet (see photo) with eggs, lox, porridge, cereal, tomato slices, peppers, pickles, many different breads and lots of coffee. The grounds were beautiful and the property had many places to relax and watch the sea, the clouds, the trees, etc. The owner of the hotel was at reception and he was a friendly and kind old guy who had many sightseeing tips to offer.
We had a thoroughly enjoyable stay at the hotel, and we were very pleased with its location. The hotel owner was exceptionally courteous and welcoming, going above and beyond to provide us with recommendations for activities and dining options. The rooms were comfortable, and we had a balcony with a lovely view! Our family had a wonderful time.
Amazingly beautiful location. Staff was very friendly. View from the room was unbeatable. Enjoyed rental of the hotels paddleboards. Nice bar with outdoor seating. Perfect location to walk everywhere. Excellent hiking trails nearby.
