Dark-timbered, turf-roofed buildings above Norway's Storfjord look centuries old, but Storfjord Hotel was built in 2006 using traditional Norwegian log techniques: every log hand-hewn, every joint hand-chiselled, lamb's wool insulation between the walls. It welcomed its first guests in 2007 with six rooms, growing to around 30 through a 2008 extension, and holds Relais & Châteaux membership as part of the 62°Nord group.

History
Storfjord Hotel is a secluded luxury boutique hotel on a hillside at Glomset (Skodje municipality), overlooking the Storfjord and the Sunnmøre Alps in western Norway. Though its dark-timbered, turf-roofed buildings look centuries old, the main hotel was built in 2006 using traditional Norwegian log-building techniques — each log hand-hewn and every joint hand-chiselled, with lamb's wool used as insulation between the logs — and welcomed its first guests in 2007.
The hotel opened with just six guest rooms and expanded over time, including a nine-bedroom extension in 2008 and further suites, growing to around 30 rooms across several timber buildings. Part of the 62°Nord hospitality group and a member of Relais & Châteaux, it is renowned for its fjord views and Norwegian craftsmanship.
