Utne Hotel

Imagine being able to holiday at a measured pace, and relax in a unique and distinctive environment, far from the stresses and strains of the city. There is a place to do just that at the heart of Hardanger.

 

Down by the ferry terminal in the tiny waterfront village Utne, surrounded by a charming garden with white picket fences and a stunning view of fjords and mountains, lies one of Norway’s oldest and best- preserved wooden hotels – Utne hotel.

 

At this hotel little moments become memorable, and a state of simple presence and beingness is in the air. The quintessential feeling of idyllic grandmother nostalgia hits you as soon as you touch the door handle. It is like coming home. Here you are welcomed with a warm and genuine smile.

 

With nearly 300 years of history embedded in its walls the hotel tells a tale of strong women and hostesses who have generously cared for and about their guests and their tiny village for centuries.

 

Put away your mobile phone and look your companions in the eyes. Be present here and now and treasure every second. Perhaps accompanied by a glass of sparkling cider.

Aga Cider Tour

 

In the best possible climate for fruit cultivation, the apple trees are carefully tended to throughout the year. The apples are gently picked and brought to the farm. Here, they are washed before being shredded and juiced until the juice flows. We take care of these precious drops, and with time, magic, and hard work, the cider is made.

 

The experience starts at at Aga Sideri. Here, you will taste 4 types of cider, two of them paired with a homemade lunch served at Aga Sideri. Learn about fruit and cider production while enjoying the beautiful surroundings at Aga. After the tasting, the tour continues to Agatunet for a guided visit. Agatunet is a unique cultural heritage site, an authentic and preserved cluster farm beautifully situated between fjord, mountains, and fruit trees. The houses and stories here are closely connected.

 

There will be an opportunity to buy cider and other products in the farm shop at Aga Sideri after the tour.
