Sustainability on the green peninsula

The green peninsula

Out hotel is places beautifully on the green peninsula Dragsvik, close to Balestrand. We are surrounded by forests and fjords and our family knows we make a living from the nature around us.

Thats why we treat our surroundings with respect. Plants, bies, flowers and the fjord needs to be protected and cared for, so that our guests can sit in a blossoming garden and enjoy a warming cup of tea.

Here on our small green peninsula you can stroll silently in the garden, hike to near by peaks and enjoy the magnificent view. We hope all our guests find a feeling of energy, joy and a stress free heart rate.

The first tourists arriving Balestrand were artists and mountaineers. Nature, the special light and the mountains still continue to inspire travelers and us today.

Eco Lighthouse

We need to focus on the future and take our share of responsibility in protecting the environment through sustainable hotel management. We choose quality in every part of our organization, whether its in purchasing, choosing local food or housekeeping.

We want our services and food to go hand in hand with our green surroundings. We want you to taste the local flavours. In a world where overconsumption is a huge problem, we want to do our part. We believe making the right environmental choices makes our guests, partners and suppliers trust us.

We are a certified Eco lighthouse hotel. We learn something new every day, but we always strive to meet the highest standards and improve ourselves. We use eco-brands such as SKOG –WOOD. Our produce is local and we do our best to recycle.

Local footprint

We buy from local farms. On your menu you will find food from Tjugum Farm, Rendal Farm, Fjærestad farm bakery, Keipen local food and Alm Farm.

We also try to limit our energy consumption. The buildings are heated with thermal pumps and a clean burning fire place. We have started replacing windows and wall insulation in our main building. Today we have achieved a 25% reduction in energy use.

We want our guests to remember at stay at Dragsvik and really experience that they are part of the landscape around us. If we are lucky they get to feel and share our love of the mountains, forests and fjord we have. We hope you love being a guest at Dragsvik hotel and support the environmental choices we have made.

We hope you will visit us, again and again.

Welcome!
