Sunnfjord

Welcome to unique experiences in the heart of Fjord Norway. Sunnfjord is situated between Sognefjord and Nordfjord, and we can offer exclusive experiences and activities in our beautiful nature. In Jølster you will find the home of Nikolai Astrup, Astruptunet, and its possible go fishing in Jølstravatnet, one of the best lakes for trout fishing in Norway. Norwegian Scenic Route Gaularfjellet from Balestrand to Eldalsosen and Moskog and from Eldalsosen to Sande has a total length of 130 kilometer, and the viewpoint “Utsikten”at the top of the mountain offers a panoramic view of the valley and the magnificent mountain landscape.
 

Jostedalsbreen National Park

Haugabreen glacier in Jølster is an easily accessible arm of the Jostedalsbreen glacier in Jostedalsbreen National park, and "Bre og Fjell" has glacier walks here every Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday in July and August (September only on request). For booking and more information, please see breogfjell.no.
 

The Waterfall Path

The Waterfall Path along the National Tourist Road Gaularfjellet in Viksdalen runs alongside the river Gaula. The path is 21 km long, and, on the way, you pass 14 waterfalls and 7 lakes. You can start the walk in many places along the path and then decide how far you want to go. There are many photo points along the path.
 

Førde Traditional and World Music Festival 

The biggest multicultural music event in Norway, Førde Traditional and World Music Festival is held at the beginning of July every year. The festival offers a varied programme of concerts, courses, exhibitions and activities for children. The beautiful Norwegian scenery forms a unique backdrop to the festival, which presents ethnic music from all over the world.
 

Nikolai Astrup’s Kingdom

Jølster was the home of the well-known painter Nikolai Astrup. Astruptunet (Astrup’s home) is located near Sandal on the south side of Jølstravatnet lake. Astruptunet is not just the artist’s home, but also an important part of the artist's lifework. In Jølster, you can see many of the places the artist painted, or what about getting inside his art by walking in Astrup’s kingdom?
