A stay for those who live for the joy of driving
Welcome to a stay where you can pull the tarpaulin off the vehicle, turn the key and feel the good feeling again – the first drive of the year. Whether you’re behind the handlebars of your motorcycle or behind the wheel of a well-maintained classic, Telemark’s most beautiful roads await you just outside the hotel.
With us, you will meet others who live for the same thing. People who know what a good turn is worth, who appreciate the sound of a well-tuned engine, and who share stories over a hot cup of coffee after the day’s ride. New acquaintances, old friends – and a shared joy for vehicles and roads.
Let us spoil you with good homemade food, comfortable rooms and a base in the middle of Norway’s eldorado for vehicles. The fairground turns, the HubRiding routes and the spectacular mountain passes are ready. So do we.
Perfectly timed with Pentecost and Ascension Day
Take advantage of the long weekends to get out on the road:
- Ascension Day: 14–17 May May
- On 21 May, Suleskarvegen – one of Norway’s most iconic driving routes – opens
- Pentecost weekend: 22–25 May May
The dates are for 2026. For 2027, we can adapt your stay to this year’s holidays – just get in touch.
The roof terrace is open — stop by!
Are you out on a day trip and just want to take a breather? Our roof terrace is open both Ascension weekend and Pentecost weekend – also for those who do not stay overnight. Stop by for a hot cup of coffee, a cold refreshment or a bite to eat with a view of Nisser. You are free to park your vehicle in the square, sit down and have a chat with other enthusiasts.
No booking necessary. Just come as you are.
