Our history

Ever since the middle of the 19th century, Flåm has been a favorite place for tourists, when English Lords entered the Sognefjord with their boats in search of new areas for hunting and fishing.

They were accommodated on the farm of Flåm's richest man, Christen Fretheim and soon the Fretheim Hotel saw the light of day.With the past as a source of inspiration, Fretheim Hotel can offer close encounters with the best of the parish's culture through short-traveled tastes, spectacular views of the fjord and mountains and interiors and furnishings that take you back in time.
