Get in

Stalheim is only accessible by car, or by bus as a part of the Norway in a Nutshell tour. The closest airport is in Bergen. The closest train station is Voss, served by the Oslo-Bergen railway operated by the Norwegian State Railways.

See

In Stalheim, the only attraction is the magnificent nature and the view of the steep Stalheimskleivane road down the valley. The best view is from the plateau at Stalheim hotel, though often crowded by busloads of tourists. You may be required to pay for a cup of coffee (kr 30) to be allowed access to the plateau, as it is private ground only accessible through the hotel.

Do

• Hiking. Several hiking paths start near the hotel. A small map can be asked for free at the hotel reception or an information map is accessible outside. A one hour hike is to the Nali farm which give a nice view on the hotel and partial view of the valley. There is no more farm since it was abandoned in 1925.
