Bjåen offers a good bed, a warm hearth, and home-baked bread. Many hiking trails await in the mountains nearby. Guests can borrow boats to go fishing.

Bjåen Fjellstove Mountain Lodge is located in Bjåen, a small mountain village near Hovden, about halfway between Oslo and Bergen.

Activities on offer

The terrain surrounding Bjåen offers alpine and gentle mountains, well suited to hiking. The Norwegian Trekking Association (DNT) has two marked hiking trails outside the lodge: from Bjåen to Tjørnsbrosbu, and from Bjåen to Haukeliseter. 

The lakes around Bjåen are good for trout fishing, and Bjåen Fjellstove Mountain Lodge offers boats for loan for guests.

From Hovden it is 11 kilometres, and from Haukeligrend 20 kilometres. The Haukeliekspressen and Setesdalekspressen buses offer frequent connections with Oslo, Bergen, Haugesund and Kristiansand.

About Bjåen Fjellstove Mountain Lodge

Bjåen Fjellstove is a certified Norwegian ecotourism company and incorporates local food, history and culture into its operation in a sustainable way.

Bjåen Fjellstove is a step into history. You can still see the original timbers of the walls, floor and ceiling. The staircase is worn from the footsteps of guests who came long before you, and you can feel the floor shift with the weight of time.
