Activities and experiences at Dalen
A stay at Dalen is shaped just as much by the experiences surrounding the hotel as by life within the house itself. Here, we have gathered a mix of nature, culture and experiences — from quiet moments in the gardens to activities along the Telemark Canal.
Some guests spend their days hiking in the mountains, others sailing, enjoying the sauna or lingering over long meals. Most discover that there is time for a little of everything.
Soria Maria Sauna
At the edge of the hotel gardens, overlooking Lake Bandak, lies Soria Moria Sauna — an award-winning building designed by Feste Landskap/Arkitektur.
Here, you sit close to nature, surrounded by mountains and water, with the possibility of a refreshing swim in the lake. Hotel guests may also book a Spa Kit from Babor, including selected products for face and body care.
Sailing on the Telemark Canal
The veteran ships M/S Henrik Ibsen and M/S Victoria sail daily through the Telemark Canal during the summer season.
On board, you experience one of Norway’s most distinctive journeys — through locks, lakes and landscapes that gradually change character along the way.
The Gardens at Dalen
The hotel gardens are a natural part of life at Dalen. Here, guests can retreat with a book, take a quiet walk or simply sit and look out across the landscape.
The gardens also offer simple activities such as croquet, bocce and cornhole. Here, you will also meet the hotel’s free-ranging Pekin ducks, which have become a familiar part of daily life at Dalen.
