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!

Do you have parents who deserve a night at Fretheim Hotel? The hotel features its own historic rooms and is located in the heart of the charming village of Flåm. Or do you know someone who loves skiing and would love to wake up to snow-covered mountains in Myrkdalen? Hotel Aurlandsfjord is located in the beautiful village Aurland, surrounded by breathtaking nature. Start your day with a morning hike before breakfast, or simply enjoy long, relaxing days with stunning fjord views and delicious meals.

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.


For the food enthusiast

For those who love exploring new flavors, aromas, and gastronomic experiences, a visit to Kest at Hotel Aurlandsfjord is a must-do. Head Chef Mantas Vaidelis crafts an always changing 8-course menu, inspired by local and seasonal ingredients. Kest is open from May to September.

This is fine dining that explores the very best of the region's flavors! Kest also offers cider and cheese tastings, ideal for those eager to explore unique flavor experiences.

At Restaurant Nuten in Myrkdalen, you’ll be served locally sourced dishes inspired by the wild surrounding landscape. If you’d like to spoil yourself with views of both fjords and mountains during your meal, Restaurant Arven in Flåm is the perfect choice.

For the luxury lover

We all know someone who truly appreciates a good hotel bed, sparkling bubbles in their glass, and something exquisite to savor. A night in the historic Tower Suite at Fretheim Hotel offers a one-of-a-kind experience, where you can wrap yourself in soft robes while taking in the stunning view of Flåm, setting the perfect tone for an unforgettable stay.

In Myrkdalen, we offer an elegant Afternoon Tea, where the clink of vintage porcelain and the taste of delicate treats give guests a glimpse of true 19th-century luxury.

For the romantic

The little village of Aurland is a romantic gem on the western coast. A stay at Hotel Aurlandsfjord offers sea views right from bed, while a day trip to the Stegastein viewpoint provides breathtaking views - a magical moment to share with someone special.

Later, the journey can continue to the UNESCO-listed Nærøyfjord. Onboard the Fjord Cruise, guests can enjoy a glass of wine as they glide through one of the world's most stunning fjords, surrounded by high mountains and pumping waterfalls.

In Myrkdalen, a dinner at Nuten Fondue is highly recommended. A traditional fondue pot is placed on the table, offering a Swiss-inspired dining experience with tender cuts of meat and the most delicious cheeses.

For the sporty

For those who love action-packed days, Myrkdalen is the perfect destination. Here, a gift card can be used for a stay at Myrkdalen Hotel and lift passes, letting them wake up, strap their skis on, and dive straight into freshly prepped slopes. For those looking to work on their ski technique, the ski school offers many good options. A thrilling ride with a snow racer after a long day in the slopes will appeal to the adventurous spirits, while an idyllic snowshoe hike to our lavvu is appealing for thoes who want a more calm experience.

A trip to Flåm can also be adventuros. The Flåm Zipline will get your adrenaline pumping as you soar through the stunning fjord landscape at speeds of up to 100 km/h. If you’re tempted by wildlife and wind in your hair, FjordSafari will take you on a RIB boat tour through the UNESCO-protected fjords. With a knowledgeable guide who knows every corner of the fjord, you'll get close to impressive cliffs and roaring waterfalls.

For the one who has everything

An experience that creates a beautiful memory is always welcome. At Flåm Bakery, a gift card can be exchanged for delicious pastries, freshly baked bread, and aromatic coffee. Grab a tasty treat and hop aboard the Flåmsbana train for a journey up the valley. The ride is known as one of the most beautiful train journeys in the world.

If the person you’re buying to loves shopping the gift card can be used on big and small treasures at Memories from Flåm.
