Flatheim

Flatheim is a small farm hotel in Viksdalen, midway on the National Tourist Route above Gaularfjellet.

Here you can find peace, lower your resting pulse, and get close to nature. You can spend the night in historic log houses with soul and charm. All the rooms are different and each has its own expression. The room is furnished with care and love in restored buildings in the yard. One of the houses is a listed heritage building and has a part from the 16th century. Around the yard, there is a cozy garden with flowers and crops. In the garden there are several areas to sit down, relax and enjoy, both outside and under cover.

The proximity to the protected Gaularvassdraget, which flows nearby, is valuable, and provides opportunities for both swimming, fishing and hiking along mountain lakes, waterfalls and clear, flowing water. Fossestien, which is a hiking path along the river, offers hikes that suit most people. You can also go on great top hikes, straight from the yard if you wish.

Primitive luxury and closeness to nature

If you would like a slightly different experience, primitive luxury and even more closeness to nature, you can spend the night in a glamping tent at the riverside.

Facilities

By the river, there are designated areas for resting and barbecuing. All rooms have access to kitchen facilities, but there is also the option to book a three-course dinner in the evenings for guests staying here. There is also a small farm shop with interior items, leather goods, books, and more.

It is also possible to book lunch for groups, or other arrangements by agreement.

You can rent a boat, canoe, SUP board, and e-bikes. There is also a hot tub and sauna available for rent with advance booking.

Norwegian Ecotourism business

Flatheim is certified as a Norwegian Ecotourism business and places emphasis on, among other things, leaving a small footprint, sharing local history, using local products, and reusing buildings and interior items as much as possible. They use both solar energy and geothermal heating in their operations.
