Nordal Turistsenter Camping
CAMPING
( 61 21 93 00;
www.nordalturistsenter.no
; campsites Nkr225, cabins with/without bathroom
Nkr835/475; May-Oct; )
Unusually this campsite, which is run under the Nordal Turistsenter banner, is slap in the
centre of town. This means fairly small pitches and a lack of rural peace, but it does allow
you to walk to the town's various sights.
Fossheim Turisthotell
HOTEL
( 61 21 95 00;
www.fossheimhotel.no
;
hotel s/d Nkr1150/1590, hotel annex s/d Nkr995/1295, cabins
Nkr1650; )
This historic family hotel at the eastern end of town has all-wood rooms in the main hotel
building (we especially like rooms 401 and 402 for the balconies and views). There are
also luxurious log cabins with modern interiors and simpler, cheaper rooms (some with
good views) in the adjacent annexe; although annexe rooms have dreadful sound insula-
tion.
