Bergen & the Southwestern Fjords
This modern hostel sits in a great position on the shores of Lake Vangsvatnet, with views of Mt Gråsida from many of the 40 rooms. The decor is standard-issue hostel – basic rooms and bunk beds – although twins have individual beds. You can rent bikes, canoes and stand-up paddleboards here, and there's a lakeside walkway to town.
The cafe is very good, with local beers and ice cream.
