Vacation home near Segla - Fjordgard

Welcome to Fjordgård!

Our house is just a few meters away from the sea, bus stop, shop with integrated café, Segla Pub and the trailhead to Hesten, the most popular hiking track with stunning views of the iconic summit of Segla.

Our vacation home has three bedrooms. Two of them have a double bed and one has two single beds, which can be moved together. The house features a fully equipped, open kitchen, a balcony, a patio and a BBQ hut. There is a living room with a place to eat and couches to relax. There is also another lounge to sit upstairs.

We are located right at the foot of Segla amidst untouched nature and nestled in between the fjord and mountains. From our house, you can see Segla, the Ørnfjord and the small island Husøy and you will have spectacular views from every room.

Things to do:

Hiking

Apart from Hesten and Segla, the most popular hikes are Barden, Inste Kongen (Kongebrua), Breitinden, Keipen, Husfjellet, Sukkertoppen and Grytetippen.

Sports

Many tourists come to Senja to hike, ski, snowboard, kayak or enjoy a hot tub or sauna with great views. There are also several guided tours, for example boat rides, (ice) fishing tours, husky and aurora tours. You can get some inspiration of what is available during your visit at VisitSenja, but usually there are even more options if you search for tours or rentals on your own.

We might be able to rent out: snowshoes, skis, fishing equipment, SUP boards, kayaks, our hot tub (depending on availability, please enquire with the booking)

Nature

Other places that are lovely to visit are Tungeneset and the white sand beach Ersfjordstranda (it might sound weird, but some also go there specifically to see the architecture of a famous golden toilet there!). You should also stop by at the Bergsbotn viewing platform over Bergsfjorden, and consider visiting the small island Husøy and Hamn i Senja. Husøy has a cute little lighthouse, great cloudberry picking places and a lovely summer café in the school during the holidays.

On Senja we also have many free huts and fireplaces where you can enjoy magical evenings with fjord view. For example, you could check out the BBQ area at the small beach at the end of our village or the BBQ hut near the Knuten Trail Head.

Fishing

Senja is traditionally a fishing island and if you are interested in fishing, you should definitely try your luck at catching dinner here. We have some basic equipment that can be rented at the house, but there are also rental boats or guided fishing tours on Senja.

At the house

At the right time, you can enjoy the midnight sun or northern lights directly from our balcony. Especially when it pours outside, we recommend spending a cozy evening in our Grillhytta (BBQ hut). On sunny days you can enjoy your morning coffee on our balcony or have dinner on the big patio.
