Fretheim Hotel is a historic fjord retreat in Flam, surrounded by dramatic mountains and sweeping views of the fjord. Located right beside the Nærøyfjord UNESCO World Heritage site, the hotel places guests in one of Norway’s most spectacular landscapes, where nature is something to see, taste, hear, and truly absorb.
Built in Swiss chalet style at the end of the 19th century, Fretheim carries the atmosphere of travel’s golden age. Its oldest wing has been carefully restored, with open fireplaces, antique furniture, elegant lounges, a library, conference room, and charming historical guest rooms that preserve the hotel’s unique character.
After a day of exploring the fjords, mountains, or the famous Flamsbana railway, guests can gather in Arven, the hotel’s main restaurant. Here, seasonal local ingredients meet traditional cooking methods with a modern touch, creating a warm and memorable dining experience in the heart of fjord Norway.
