- Discover the wonderful blend of Norwegian vernacular motifs. The construction themes are referred to as “byggeskikk,” and this concept drew its inspiration from generational construction techniques that go back centuries. Most structures in Norway were created with natural materials such as logs, or other resources available in the wilderness. Due to this, architectural designs such as open-hearth fireplaces and stone chimneys became prevalent in this aesthetic and can be seen throughout Flatheim.
- Learn more about the fascinating history of Flatheim, situated along the National Scenic Route that overlooks the Gaularfjellet, mountain area in Vestland. The story of this quaint retreat started when Selma and Jens Vallestad established a bus stop (and an accompanying gas station) on the site in 1949. The bus stop then became an inn with the hope it would appeal to tourists. Gaining popularity, Selma and Jens expanded into a hotel in the 1900s with it now being under the stewardship of their granddaughter, Heidi Vallestad.
