From Hotel Ullensvang, you can delight in breathtaking views upwards towards the Hardangervidda mountain plain and the Folgefonna glacier, and down to the Hardangerfjord.
Make the most of your stay in the wonderful Ullensvang Bath, relaxing in the swimming pools and enjoying the delightful gardens with private beach. Taste the flavours of Hardanger in the hotel restaurant, where dishes are made from the best local produce available. Squash, ten-pin bowling, playroom and tennis are only a few of the activities on offer.
The hotel is also the perfect base for excursions to Trolltunga and Dronningstien (Queen's Trail).
The word Panoramic describes the view in all its glory. The trail is open from around the middle of June to the middle of October, depending on when the snow melts on the mountains. For an easier and quicker option, hike "a glimpse" of the tour only.
The world-renowned composer Edvard Grieg first visited Lofthus in 1877. Several of his major works are inspired by the scenery in Hardanger. Edvard and Nina Grieg had a close friendship with the first hosts of Hotel Ullensvang, Brita and Hans Utne, and would visit Lofthus most summers.
