The trip to Jølster and Skei is an adventure in itself. The first guests arriving at the hotel more than 118 years ago came here because of the spectacular and majestic nature. The nature is as splendid today, even if the time it takes to travel here has decreased lot. No matter how you decide to travel, the travel route in itself is a memorable experience.
