Nestled in the heart of the Arctic, Bjørnfjell Mountain Lodge exhibits a deep-rooted connection to Norwegian farming traditions and cabin culture. On average, Norwegians spend 60 days a year in cabins—a cherished part of their cultural heritage. In earlier times, farmers would take their livestock to graze in the mountains each summer, living in small cabins where they relied on homemade foods, gathered berries, and nature’s offerings to sustain them. At Bjørnfjell Mountain Lodge, we invite you to experience this authentic Norwegian cabin lifestyle. Stay cozy in one of our private cabins or in a room at the main lodge while immersing yourself in the beauty of the surrounding Arctic nature.
The ski slopes and mountain tubing are only a few of the options available for young and old to enjoy together. The lodge is a home away from home and offers a cozy lounge and restaurant area where your warm loafers will be ready for you upon arrival. The views from the lodge are magnificent and reach as far as Alta fjord. All you have to do on a clear night is step outside an gaze at the stars or the lights. The rooms are decorated with natural materials and warm and calming colors. From your window you can see the surrounding nature and spectacular landscape that Bjørnfjell is situated within. The main lodge has several common areas such as the restaurant, lounge, outdoor seating, and of course the great outdoors. Craft your own adventure during the day, and return to a good night’s rest. Norwegian cabin culture places emphasis on being social and active with those you’re travelling with. In this sense, the private cabins are
geared towards a restful night, yet encourage you to spend time during the day being social or out in nature. Our private cabins that feature 4 beds with fully equipped kitchen, a loft, a dining area, a living area, and a fireplace.
