Staying at the Voss Mountain Lodge

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 offsite and event group bookings. For all other stays, sleeping linens are required and must be rented. While we have our own train station, we're still very remote. This means the standard is Norwegian cozy: simple, clean and warm. We also roast our own coffee on the premises available for guests!

  • Year-round sauna and heated swimming pool in the summer
  • Spacious yoga cabin with wooden walls and mountain views
  • Real wood-fired pizza oven from Italy and coffee roastery (really!)
  • Plus spectacular hiking, skiing, snowboarding, mountain biking, whitewater rafting, trail running, paragliding, alpine trad climbing, cross-country, and more…

From 4550kr per week

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.
