The Bolder Sky Lodges sit high above the picturesque Lysefjord in Rogaland. The exclusive cabins offer a breathtaking view over the fjord and, thanks to the unique nature of the buildings, they have even been featured in the list of the most spectacular accommodation in the world in Forbes Magazine.

The origins of this extraordinary concept can be traced back to 2010, when the building contractor Tom Bjarte Norland acquired a sprawling, unspoilt plot of land overlooking the Lysefjord. He initially planned to build small, solitary cabins, but the stunning backdrop inspired a bolder idea. Under the leadership of the architect John Birger Grytdal, two two-storey, cube-shaped lodges were created. Clad with Canadian cedarwood and built on stilts, they appear to hover over the rocky terrain, helping to ensure that they blend in seamlessly with the natural surroundings.
This architectural concept has now been taken on by the internationally renowned architectural studio Snøhetta, who have added four lodges to the Bolder Sky Lodges. The lodges themselves are perceived to be free-standing buildings that blend in seamlessly with the surrounding landscape and nature. High-quality Schüco Panorama windows, elegant Design sliding doors and toplights, installed by Farstad Aluminium, provide breathtaking views of the land, fjord and sky.
