Elva Hotel sits on the edge of Lundarvatnet lake in Voss, surrounded by mountains, forest and the dramatic landscapes of western Norway. Designed to blend architecture with nature, the hotel is made up of a main building and a collection of elevated mini houses, each carefully positioned to maximise views across water and wilderness.

The design is bold yet understated. Inspired by Scandinavian minimalism, the buildings appear to float above the landscape, with floor to ceiling windows drawing the outside in. Rooms are calm and considered, with natural materials, soft lighting and views that change with the weather and seasons.

At the centre of the hotel is a restaurant rooted in local food culture, where seasonal ingredients from the surrounding region shape the menu. The overall experience is one of balance, combining design, nature and a strong sense of place.

Tailor-Made Experiences May Include:

  • Hiking and mountain trails with panoramic views across fjord landscapes
  • Kayaking, lake swims or quiet waterside walks directly from the hotel
  • Adventure activities in Voss including rafting, ziplining and skiing
  • Scenic drives through fjords, waterfalls and surrounding valleys
  • Seasonal dining experiences highlighting local produce and regional flavours
  • Sauna and outdoor hot tub rituals overlooking the lake
