When familiar Christmas songs return to the radio, you may feel the holiday rush slowly creeping in. Inbetween everything that needs to be done, you want to find a gift that truly means something. With a gift card from Norway’s best, that’s exactly what you give: the freedom to choose an experience that creates anticipation, joy, and memories that last long after Christmas is over.
Make someone you care about smile with an unforgettable experience!
We’ve put together a few ideas for how a gift card from us can be used. But remember, the person you’re giving it to gets to choose. The possibilities are endless!
For those who love snow and fresh mountain air, Myrkdalen is the ultimate place to use the gift card. Here, the gift card can easily be exchanged for a lift pass, the key to a perfect ski day. With access to freshly groomed slopes, family-friendly runs, and exciting off-piste opportunities, everything is in place for hours of skiing.
The gift card can also be used for accommodation at Myrkdalen Hotel. Then you wake up in the heart of the mountain adventure, step straight into your ski boots, and are among the first to carve tracks in the snow. For those who want to improve their skills, ski lessons provide both mastery and useful technique tips.
And when the day on the slopes is over, the fun doesn’t stop. The gift card can also be used for an sledding adventure down the ski slopes or a peaceful snowshoe hike through the winter landscape.
A trip to Flåm also offers experiences that gets the adrenaline pumping. With the Flåm Zipline, you can soar through the valley at up to 100 km/h, while Fjord Safari invites you on a RIB adventure between dramatic mountains and waterfalls, a unique way to experience the UNESCO-protected fjords.
For the food enthusiast, few gifts can compete with a memorable culinary experience, and a gift card from Norway’s best opens the door to some of the region’s most exciting tastes. At Hotel Aurlandsfjord you’ll find Restaurant Kest, where head chef Mantas Vaidelis creates an ever-evolving 8-course menu based on local and seasonal ingredients. This is fine dining that explores the flavors of the Western Norwegian landscape. In addition, Kest offers both cider tastings and cheese tastings, perfect for someone who loves to treat themselves.
Kest is open from May to September. Hotel Aurlandsfjord also serves as an idyllic base for those who appreciate peace and closeness to nature, with the chance to start the day with fresh fjord air and a calm breakfast in beautiful surroundings.
In Flåm, Fretheim Hotel has elegant rooms, historic details, and culinary experiences that sets the tone for an unforgettable stay. A night here means soft hotel beds, cozy bathrobes, and a breakfast that makes it easy to start the day in the best possible way. At Restaurant Arven, guests can enjoy local flavors while enjoying the view over the mountains and the fjord.
In Myrkdalen, the gift card can be used to combine mountain experiences with great food. The hotel offers comfort in the heart of the mountains, and at Restaurant Nuten, locally sourced dishes are served, inspired by the nature just outside the door. For those seeking something extra special, Afternoon Tea in Myrkdalen offers a taste of classic luxury, with delicate small bites and a touch of 19th-century elegance.
Imagine waking up in a cozy hotel bed and strolling down to breakfast, where the aroma of freshly brewed coffee and warm, freshly baked bread fills the air.
A gift card from Norway’s best is more than just access to dining, accommodation, and activities, it can also be exchanged for tickets to some of the year’s most popular events in Flåm and Myrkdalen. From children’s theatre and Christmas-themed train rides to festive garage parties and rich food and drink experiences, there’s something for every taste.
One of the highlights of the summer is the annual garden concert at Fretheim Hotel. When the garden transforms into an intimate concert venue with seating, lights, and warm summer air, it creates an unforgettable atmosphere. This year, Marit Larsen, featured on this years TV-show «Hver gang vi møtes», will fill the garden with music as summer arrives. The gift card can be exchanged into tickets, allowing you to give away the perfect date night or a cozy summer evening for the whole family.
In Myrkdalen, the humor festival Fjellatter will be held for the third time this September, quickly becoming a tradition. Here, some of Norway’s best comedians gather for a full weekend of laughter. The festival has already become a favorite across generations, and a gift card can easily be exchanged for festival tickets, which gives access to the autumn’s funniest mountain adventure.
An experience that fills the memory bank is always a welcome gift, no matter how much one already has. The gift card can be used for a round-trip journey on the Flåm Railway, often described as one of the world’s most beautiful train rides. Or perhaps a trip with Fjord Cruise on the UNESCO-protected Nærøyfjord is even more tempting?
No matter what one chooses, we recommend stopping by Flåm Bakery before departure. With fresh pastries in your backpack, the journey becomes both flavorful and unforgettable.
