The quiet town of Solvorn has changed very little in the past 150 years, set between mesmerising fjords and tree-covered mountains, and it is here that Norway’s oldest family-run hotel – since 1690 – also continues to preserve a piece of this beautiful region’s history. Nine generations have nurtured Walaker Hotel’s quaint former inn and trading post; its thoroughly traditional and comfortable rooms; and the roses, lilacs and fruit trees that bloom in its garden on the very edge of the calm blue Sognefjord.
