This Scandi star is a designer hotel with a passion for gastronomy and nature.
The hotel is made up of one main building and five mini houses — each with two to three stylish, paired back suites. Picturesque windows in all overlook a tranquil lake and forested mountains. Every room is named after a cascading waterfall found along the nearby rivers.
While the call of the wild is never far away, it is the culinary experience that sets this boutique hotel apart. The fine dining restaurant follows the seasons and serves exquisite tasting and wine pairing inspired by local produce from the Voss and Westland region. Visit in autumn and you can expect a seven-course menu of pumpkin, baked tusk fish and wild mushrooms, while summer the cosy café and bar features barbecue Bratwurst from Voss Gardsslakteri and ratatouille.
After a day spent white-water rafting, river boarding or kayaking, Elva has a rustic wood-fired sauna and three bubbling hot tubs where you can enjoy a drink overlooking the glassy waters of the lake.
