Ulvik is Vestland’s cider-scented fjord basin - a municipality where poets wandered through orchards, RIB boats skim across glassy waters, and eight golden lozenges bloom across the coat of arms. With around 1,000 residents and a landscape shaped by the Ulvikafjorden, Osafjellet, and the villages of Osa, Finse, and Ulvik itself, this is the kind of place where you can hike past waterfalls, explore fruit farms, and still sip spruce tea beside a cider press that hums with tradition. It’s got fjords, ferment, and a name that may stem from *ulfr* - “wolf.”

Where to Stay in Ulvik
Getting There
Ulvik lies at the end of the Ulvikafjorden, northeast of the Hardanger Bridge and east of Vossevangen. Reach it by car via Rv13 or join a fjord cruise from Bergen. The area is best explored by boots, boat, or bold curiosity - especially if you’re chasing cider echoes, poetry lore, or the hush of pine needles beside a fjord-framed orchard.
