My experience at Yggdrasil was truly magical. Nestled in stunning Norwegian mountains, it offers a serene escape from the bustle of city life. The warm hospitality made me feel welcomed, and the homemade meals prepared with local ingredients were exceptional. However, the remote location may not suit everyone, and there is a charge for some amenities that can add up.

My stay at Yggdrasil Farmhotel was an absolute dream! Nestled amidst stunning Norwegian mountains, the ambiance was calming and the views breathtaking. I particularly enjoyed the homemade meals bursting with local flavors, although I did wish there were more dessert options. The opportunity to stargaze and catch the northern lights added magic to my visit. While the cabin I stayed in was very comfortable, I felt the service could have been a touch warmer. Overall, this place is a fantastic retreat for anyone looking to immerse themselves in nature and local culture.
