Between the mountains, the water, and the history
Welcome to Dalen Hotel
Deep in Telemark, where the landscape opens up towards lake Bandak, lies Dalen Hotel.
For 130 years, travellers have found their way here — through the mountains, along the roads, or by water — arriving at a house rooted in history, nature and hospitality. Here, guests have come to slow down, stay close to nature and experience the flavours and rhythms of the season. Much remains as it once was, gently shaped by the time we live in today.
Summer at Dalen Hotel
Bright evenings, long meals and experiences in a landscape that constantly changes character. During the summer, Dalen is a natural starting point for both relaxing days at the hotel and adventures on the Telemark Canal and in the surrounding mountains.

The Road to Dalen
The journey here passes through forests and mountains, or along the water, where the landscape gradually changes along the way.
If you choose to arrive by boat through the Telemark Canal, the journey itself becomes part of the story — just as it has been for more than a hundred years.
Activities
At Dalen, the days can be filled with experiences both at the hotel and in the surrounding area. The activities change with the seasons, from canal journeys and long mountain hikes in summer to quieter days by the water as autumn and winter arrive.
