In the middle of Vestland county, our two main destinations, Flåm and Myrkdalen, are situated. The former is most famous for the Flåm Railway and its idyllic location by the Aurlandsfjord, while Myrkdalen in Voss Herad is primarily recognized as one of Vestland's largest ski resorts. Less known is the fact that both are excellent year-round destinations with quality hotels featuring modern conference facilities and a variety of attractive activities for both short and extended stays.
The central location along the E16 and the Flåm Railway's connection with the Bergen Railway makes it easy to travel to Flåm from both Oslo and Bergen. Myrkdalen, on the other hand, is just a short bus ride away from both Voss center and Flåm. The short distance between the destinations makes a combination of stays and activities in both a popular choice among many businesses.
From the moment you get in touch regarding a quote until the group has departed from our destinations, you will be assisted by one of our salespeople who will take care of everything from A to Z. We have extensive experience in tailoring arrangements according to our customers' wishes and are happy to suggest suitable programs - we see opportunities instead of obstacles.
“I would like to thank you for the fantastic service in connection with the event for our 96 guests in Flåm in September 2021. Everything from our first contact in March to when the guests left Flåm has been to our complete satisfaction.”
The nature and the diverse range of activities are the main arguments for organizing the work gathering in Flåm and Myrkdalen. The world-famous Flåm Railway operates daily throughout the year, and can be experienced as part of the journey to or from, as a round trip, or in combination with an adrenaline-filled ride on the Flåm Zipline followed by a bike tour.
The electric boats operating on the World Heritage-listed Nærøyfjord, between Flåm, can be chartered if one desires a private tour or perhaps to host parts of a conference on board. For those who want more activity, it is possible to have a guided mountain hike with fjord views. Biking on the Rallarvegen between Finse and Flåm is a sure winner in August and September.
Meals are a significant and essential part of any gathering. Both Fretheim Hotel in Flåm and Myrkdalen Hotel focus on locally sourced ingredients. Here, one simply gets the local culture served on a plate, with a modern twist for both lunch and dinner, as well as snacks during meetings. The menus can be customized to preferences, and it is possible to have dinner served in a private room.
Both in Voss and Aurland, the tradition of beer brewing has been strong for a long time, and today there are several good local breweries that we like to showcase by offering beer tasting to groups that are interested.
If you desire musical performances or other entertainment, we have good contacts who can arrange this.
If you visit Myrkdalen in the winter, you can hardly avoid skiing, and lift passes are included in the stay. This is one of the most snow-sure ski resorts in the country with slopes for everyone, from challenging black to easy green. The cross-country ski trails pass right by Myrkdalen Hotel for those who prefer a trip on cross-country skis, while sledding with a steering sledge in the facility after closing time is the perfect break between meetings and dinner.
Summer is a great time for cycling, paddling, and mountain hiking.
There is also a wide selection of specially tailored team-building activities to choose from. The decathlon is a popular choice suitable for 10 – 70 participants, where teams compete against each other in mental and physical tasks, racing to get from point A to point B the fastest and finishing with a pursuit race. Other timed competitions and dog sledding are also available.
At more and more companies, sustainability has now taken a central position, and we are pleased to convey that this is easy to comply with at our destinations. You can travel here using public transportation, there are charging stations for electric cars available, and our hotels are certified Eco-lighthouses.
Fretheim Hotel is also a certified provider of Green Conferences for companies that are environmentally certified or can document that they are in the process of becoming so.
