Balestrand

The artistic capitol of The Sognefjord

Welcome to Balestrand, an idyllic village on the main Sognefjord with its narrow fjord branches and scenic and lush mountain landscape. Here you will find high mountains, deep fjords and peace and quiet.

You can enjoy various day tours, activities, hiking trails and cultural and art experiences.

If you ever come to Balestrand you will not only speak about majestic mountains and the odd whale in the fjord. Your stories will include the smell of the fresh air, the light in the endless summer evenings, the colourful panoramas in autumn and the glittering, crunching snow in the winter.

Balestrand has so much more to offer than you think. Its history tells many stories, from famous kings and German Kaisers which are beautifully preserved in many of Balestrand's houses, sights and places.
