Exploring the area

A red-roofed mountain lodge complex by a river in a green valley in Norway, surrounded by forested mountains with distant snowy peaks.

Among the mighty fjords

The Voss Mountain Lodge sits between Norway's two largest fjords, Sognefjord to the north and Hardangerfjord to the south. It's a region known for its mountain sports, rich food culture and the trolls of Norwegian legend.

A space for connection

In 1939 in the spirit of international community building, students from over 20 nations began building the Voss Mountain Lodge by hand, deep in the Raundalen valley. We invite you to come do your most important work with us.

Staying at the Voss Mountain Lodge

Depending on the time of year and nature of your stay, you will have access to your own shared kitchen, meals from our main kitchen, or food available at our pizza café.

Lodge rooms include:

  • Wooden twin bunk beds with fresh hotel linens
  • Ensuite sinks, storage and personal writing desks
  • Mountain views, fresh air and sound of rushing water

Fresh linen service is always included with both coliving and group bookings. While we have our own train stop, we're still very remote. This means the standard is Norwegian cozy: simple, clean and warm. Welcome to Mjølfjell!

A history of community

A history of community

In 1939, students from 20 different nations came together to build Mjølfjell Ungdomsherberge as the first volunteer-built hostel of its kind. Near a remote railway deep in the mountains of western Norway, it was envisioned as a place to explore nature, adventure and collaboration.

After WWII, Mjølfjell welcomed a new generation of travelers in an era of rejuvenation that included building its own power plant. In 1947, Peer Lorentz Dahl painted the murals in our main lodge as inspired by the life of Norwegian Arctic explorer Fridtjof Nansen.
