Walkabout Gourmet Adventure 2020 Brochure

Our Hotels & Cuisine
Our hotel in Øye is like a fairytale from
“La belle époque”. At the end of the 1800’s
Hotel Union was the most sought after hotel
in Northern Europe – its guest list read like a
“Whose Who” of Europe - Queen Wilhelmina
of the Netherlands, Emperor Wilhelm II of
Germany, King Oscar II of Sweden and Norway,
and Queen Maud and King Haakon VII of
Norway are some of the royalty who enjoyed
their stay here. This romantic hotel has now
been completely renovated and has an idyllical
location amidst beautiful untouched natural
scenery, located only a short distance from
the Geiranger fjord. In the Dovrefjell National
Park we stay in a small hamlet which has been
very tastefully restored. It combines modern
comfort with historical authenticity. At night
enjoy deliciously prepared dinners as Knut and
Ellen introduce us to the gastronomic delights
of this region. Our hotel on the edge of the
Rondane N.P. is located just above the tree line
and commands excellent views of the National
Park. It has very comfortable lounges and also
an indoor heated swimming pool and sauna.
A culinary adventure is the “koldtbord” - a
buffet offering a wonderful selection of fish and
seafood specialities, salads, meat dishes, breads,
delicious cheeses and various desserts. Our
hotel in the picturesque village of Lom has been
in the same family since 1897. It is a stately farm
courtyard consisting of the main building and
several historic 17th century log houses. The
beautiful timber-lined lounges and sitting rooms
create a wonderful atmosphere. The tradition of
using the local ingredients was established at
Fossheim by the former Head Chef Arne Brimi
– he created what was called “natures kitchen”
where local food is prepared using a long
cultural and culinary tradition. This inspiration
from Arne has continued with the menus being
baed on the fine local produce such as reindeer,
local trout and fresh vegetables which are
grown in the valley just outside of Lom. Norway
is a haven for berries with delicious raspberries
being used in many of the desserts. Don’t miss
the chance to sample the famous waffles with
cloudberries after our walk at Sota Saeter.
