Norway’s travel curator Up Norway revealed some of its top recommendations for travelers visiting Norway in 2022. Whether guests seek new hotels, activities or other offerings, Up Norway includes it all in its 2022 list.
Museums
The Estudio Herreros-designed museum opened in October 2021 and continues to draw in visitors to its stunning collection of modern and contemporary art. The museum boasts of its large collection from famed artist Edvard Munch. Some of the museum’s 2022 exhibitions will include an exploration into the world of the unconscious through artists like Salvador Dali, Auguste Rodin and Pablo Picasso, as well as a blending of music and art at the Satyricon & Munch exhibition.
The largest art museum in Scandinavia is set to open in 2022 in Oslo, featuring more than 5,000 works on opening. The museum will sit in an eco-friendly building aimed at emitting 50 percent less carbon than current standards. Each work in the museum will inspire visitors and take guests on a journey through interior design and history, blending art and architecture in one comprehensive experience.
Activity
Up Norway offers guests the opportunity to take on the Sunnmore Alps on the ultimate skiing adventure. The mountains not only offer skiers unique routes for alpine skiing, but also offer gorgeous sights of the many fjords in the area. The Ski and Sail Journey includes a private boat trip around Hjørundfjord and guided summit-to-fjord runs. Up Norway also offers an extended option for guests wanting to continue their adventures, providing an overnight stay aboard an expedition ship to different runs throughout the fjord.
Hotels
Set to reopen in 2022, the Sunnfjord-based retreat offers rare views of fjord landscapes in addition to local experiences and acclaimed hospitality. Guests at Åmot Norway can embark on any number of adventures from the hotel, including guided hikes through mountains, private fly-fishing lessons and horseback riding treks through wildflower fields and hills. The hotel also offers guests the chance to go on guided kayak rides, helicopter sightseeing and salmon fishing.
Hotel Union Øye has been the chosen place to stay for kings, queens, mountaineers and explorers since 1891, and continues to provide guests with a luxurious stay in the heart of Norwegian solitude. Situated between mountains and the small hamlet of Øye, the property will increase its number of rooms, suites and villas from 29 to 46 to accommodate more guests. The hotel will open June 2022.
As part of Norway’s largest-ever preservation project, Nordic Hotels & Resorts announced the opening of Sommerro will be in September 2022. The hotel lies in one of Oslo’s most iconic buildings, the former headquarters of Oslo Lysverker, the city’s original electrical company. Sommerro will offer guests sweeping panoramic views of Oslo while incorporating Norway’s cultural heritage into the interior and design of the hotel. With a strong focus on eco-conscious experiences, Sommerro will be the epitome of Norwegian luxury.
