Hotel Aak

Top choice in The Northern Fjords


What a beauty: a historic mountain hotel that's been given a thoughtful, charming overhaul by the young Rønning family. The decor in the rooms is sparse but tasteful, and the best rooms have lots of space and knockout mountain views. The building's rustic past still shines through, though. Breakfast is a real mountain feast, and you can arrange dinners too.

It's very activity-focused here: Kristine and her husband Odd Erik can arrange pretty much anything you could think of to do. The hotel lies beside the E136, in a quiet corner of the Romsdalen Valley, 4km from town.
