KAYAKING
( 92 85 46 74;
www.kayakandglacier.com
; Sandaneset; May-Aug 10am-4pm, or by appointment)
At the small fjord-side shack, you can hire a kayak, canoe, motor or rowing boat or join
one of its daily guided kayaking trips, ranging from 2½ hours (Nkr420) to a full day
(Nkr950).
Walking
The tourist office's free sheet,
Escape the Asphalt,
lists 12 marked walking routes, varying
from 30 minutes to three hours. For greater detail, supplement this with
Turkart Fjærland
(Nkr80) at 1:50,000, which comes complete with route descriptions and trails indicated;
pull on your boots and you're away. Most walks follow routes the local shepherds would
have used until quite recently to lead their flocks to higher summer pastures.

Run by the same family ever since it was built in 1891, this beautiful hotel retains much of
its period interior: original local furniture with the odd bit of Viennese Thonet, paintings,
rugs, leather armchairs made by local craftsmen and a 'modern' remodel of a 1920s par-
lour. Rooms are traditional, but pretty and light.
