Luxury bespoke hotel holidays to Jegtvolden Fjordhotell, Trøndelag
Jegtvolden Fjordhotell sits beside the peaceful Trondheim Fjord along the Golden Road in Inderøy, where the gentle hills of Trøndelag meet the water and 150 years of hospitality tradition continue within its walls. The oldest section, Lillegården, once belonged to the prosperous Sundnes estate and hosted distinguished 19th century guests, including the folklorists Asbjørnsen and Moe, composer Ole Bull, and poet Aasmund Olavsson Vinje. The building’s history remains present in its character, creating an atmosphere quite distinct from conventional hotels. The setting provides immediate access to both land and water, with the rose garden leading down to a private beach on the fjord, and the surrounding countryside offering marked hiking trails through farmless and forest. The hotel’s 61 rooms are distributed between those overlooking the fjord and those facing the gardens, with many featuring patios with direct access to the grounds. The restaurant focuses on regional cuisine, working closely with local producers to source ingredients from the fjord and surrounding farms. The wine cellar holds a selection that reflects both local and international vintages, with tastings arranged for those wishing to explore Norwegian wines and spirits. Dining can extend outdoors during warmer months, with views across the water adding to the serene experience. The location along the Golden Road places guests within easy reach of the farm shops, artisan workshops, and food producers that define Inderøy’s charm, whilst Trondheim’s cathedral and historic centre lie just over an hour away. This combination of fjordside peace, local food traditions, and rural and urban attractions creates a base suited to exploring this lesser-known corner of central Norway.

About Trondelag
Trøndelag is the region at whose heart sits the city of Trondheim, ancient capital of the kingdom of Norway and a place of pilgrimage in Scandinavia. Trøndelag is north of Vestlandet and hugs the rugged coastline with interiors of coniferous and deciduous forests. Trondheim, once known as Nidaros, is where King Olav Haraldsson was canonised in 1031 and today contains a charming mixture of historic sights and stylish, modern architecture. There are interesting museums (Museum of Art, the Maritime Museum, the Trødelag folk museum and the Museum of Decorative Arts), the warehouses of Bryggen, the royal residence and the Nidarosdomen, Scandinavia’s greatest mediaeval building, built over the grave of Olav the Holy, the patron saint of Norway. Inland is the well-preserved mining town of Røros, with colourful, wooden houses with turf roofs. Since the 17th Century until 1977, the community combined agriculture with copper-mining. At Austrått you’ll find a beautiful white manor house dating from the Viking age, and one of the best-preserved mediaeval buildings in Norway. Just offshore are several islands including Munkholmen, Hitra and Frøya. The latter two are renowned for their deep-sea fishing.
