Beautiful Fjaerland is the place where the Sognefjord meets Jostedalsbreen Glacier with its white and blue arms hanging down steep mountains. Some tourists have named it the most beautiful glacier village in the world and we could not agree more. The village with almost 300 inhabitants is officially an international Book Town, with 10 second-hand bookshops in a variety of abandoned buildings – from ferry waiting rooms, stables and local banks to post office and grocery shop.

In Fjaerland we have a variety of possibilities for accommodation, food and things to do. Like old fashioned wooden hotels, a glacier museum, restaurants just beneath the glacier and next to the fjord, beautifully placed cabins for rental and activities second to none such as glacier walks, hiking and kayaking.
