Bjørnfjell Mountain Lodge

This family ran business offers an authentic Norwegian experience. The surroundings were absolutely beautiful, the lodge was cosy, the food was great and the staff were friendly and welcoming. The Polar experience was really enjoyable, something we won’t forget. Thank you!

My wife and I enjoyed our the stay at Björnfjell Mountain Lodge in January. We came to view the Northern Lights, which we saw one night from the outdoor hot tub. We enjoyed Cabin #3 and multiple Wellness Experiences at the spa (hot tub and sauna). There were plenty of hooks in the cabin for hanging things. There was also a kitchenette, which we did not use. We were surprised that the Lodge was beside a ski run which had outdoor lights on the afternoon; fortunately there were turned off about 6 pm, so they didn’t interfere with trying to view the night sky. If one’s goal was to see the Northern Lights from the outdoor hot tub at the Lodge, you had to hope they would be directly overhead. The view from the hot tub was very constrained by nearby trees. Fortunately we did see the Aurora overhead one evening (it was too cloudy the other two evenings during our stay). In hindsight, I’m not sure the Björnfjell is a great place for viewing the Northern Lights, unless you’re on top of the mountain with clear skies. The staff at the Björnfjell Mountain Lodge was great. They were friendly and very helpful. We enjoyed the meals there, including the reindeer stew. It was great having choices on the dinner menu. Wines were reasonably priced. My wife and I enjoyed a snowshoe hike with a local insider, lunch in a lavvo, and a bonfire dinner (but no stargazing because of the cloudy skies). We loved the Polar Night Bonfire which was indoors at the top of the mountain above the Lodge. It was fun cooking the food in the “fireplace”. The meal was delicious. We brought wine from the Lodge with us. Unfortunately we couldn’t take advantage of the telescope for stargazing, because it was cloudy outside. I loved the Lodge's emphasis on sustainability. The uneaten food is consumed by the resident sheep, who can be visited. Check with the kitchen if you want to bring food.

Such a wonderful place. We loved everything about it : The incredible kindness of the people working here : they made us an amazing breakfast and offered to feed the sheep with them. The cabins themselves, beautifully decorated ! Very spacious and modern, loved being able to make a fire. Incredible views during the day and also during the night spotting auroras. Through the big windows. We travel a lot and we can say without a doubt that is one of the best places we have been staying at. We stayed an extra day since we loved the place so much and already look forward to coming back and staying a bit longer this time!

My colleagues and I went to Bjørnfjell Mountain Lodge for a two days writing session. The place was really quiet and cosy. The food was exellent; local and well prepared. For example, we were served a delicious meal of high quality reindeer meet accompanied by, among other things, wild growing lingonberries. The rooms were clean and the staff were superfriendly. I highly recomend a stay at Bjørnfjell Mountain Lodge.

Very nice place to stay. Perfect spot to watch the northern light. Perfect view up on the mountain. Cosy hotel with comfortable rooms, good bathroom and good beds. Rich breakfast and friendly and helpful staff.

Just returned from a wonderful 4 nights spent at the Bjornfjell Mountain Lodge, with my wife and 9 friends. The setting in the mountains is beautiful. the accommodation is modern, warm and cosy. The owner and staff are very helpful and friendly. They were willing to assist our group with booking transport and excursions. and anything else required. The food was beautifully presented and very tasty. A great experience, we would highly recommend.
