Guests are able to stay at the brand new Ramme fjordhotell, experience fine dining, visit Ramme’s working eco-farm, walk in Edvard Munch’s footsteps, relax in the idyllic Havlyst Park, and enjoy art exhibitions, plays, concerts and other cultural activities.

Ramme farm, has been involved in organic farming since 1986. The farm focuses on traditional farming values, sustainable production and maintaining a high standard of animal welfare.

Ramme farm has a visitor area with a farm shop and restaurant/cafe serving well-balanced dishes in line with Debio's gold standard for organic foods.

At Ramme you can get close to the animals and see how they live and interact. They also specialise in protecting rare breeds of domestic animals as an important part of Norway’s cultural history and genetic diversity.

Tours are being arranged around the farm and other events so that visitors can learn about organic farming and generally have a fun day out.  

Ramme fjordhotell is the heart of the farm surrounded by fruit trees, cultivated fields, greenhouses, barns, stables and farm animals. The hotel comprises two buildings – “Herberget” built in 1780s style and «Brenneriet» built in 1880s style. It is a full-service hotel with 42 rooms meticulously furnished to a high standard with antiques and period furniture. You can choose between double or twin-bedded rooms, in addition to luxury suites, pavilions in the park, and even Edvard Much’s house on request.

The hotel’s restaurant serves organic food according to the season. All products will be local produce either from the farm or in combination with local producers.
