Laurie, one of our Scandinavian specialists at The Nordic Company and the wife of President Jerry Norsman, shares with us one of her favorite hotels in Norway and the fond memories associated with it:
The warmth, grace, and charm of the lovely, historic Kvikne’s Hotel located deep in the mighty Sognefjord of Norway will always hold a special place in my heart. Several years ago, Jerry and I were treated to an extraordinary wedding reception at Kvikne’s after being joined in marriage in a nearby 12th century Stave Church in Norway.
Kari and Sigrid Kvikne, the fifth generation owners of the hotel, made certain we had wonderful memories to cherish for a lifetime. To compliment our festive occasion, they arranged for a concert pianist from Bergen to play the beloved music of Norwegian composer, Edvard Grieg. With great flair, they also presented us with a traditional Kransekaker – a Norwegian wedding & celebration cake!
The hospitality extended to us by the Kvikne family during our special occasion was hard to forget and we have remained good friends with them over the years. They continue to be equally gracious and accommodating hosts to all of our clients that we send to their picturesque hotel in Balestrand. From Kvikne’s, our clients are able to experience the beauty and wonder of the mighty Sognefjord, the unique landscape of the Fjaerland glacier, and the delicious cuisine presented in the historic dining room of the hotel every evening. Our clients return year after year expressing gratitude for their stay at the world renowned hotel. When they share with me that Kvikne’s has a special place in their hearts now as well, I am able to smile upon my own precious memories. That makes my job so very worthwhile!
