Dear Visitors 💙

The Viking Village at Vestrahorn will be temporarily closed from November 27th. until December 10th. This is because our beloved village is once again going to play a starring role as a film set and will also undergo some much-needed maintenance.

While the Viking Village takes a short break, we encourage you to explore the other stunning parts of Vestrahorn, including the majestic mountain views and the iconic black sand beach. Our Viking Cafe Guesthouse and Campsite remain open, ready to welcome you with warm hospitality.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support. We can’t wait to share the magic of the Viking Village with you once it reopens, better than ever!

Best wishes, The Vestrahorn Team
