Walaker Hotell is located in Solvorn on the Lustrafjord, the inner tributary of the Sognefjord, Norway’s deepest and longest fjord. This puts it in the heart of the best that Fjord Norway has to offer, just a short drive, boat ride, or hike away from must-see sights like Jostedalsbreen National Park, Urnes Stave Church, and the Feigefossen waterfall. On top of it all, as the most historic hotel in Norway, the Walaker Hotell is also a destination in its own right, allowing guests to stay in a true piece of Norwegian history. Fortunately, thanks to its idyllic favorable location only steps from the Solvorn waterfront, the hotel is ideally positioned for seeing it all.
