About us
Outdoor environment
At the hotel you will find a homely environment, a cozy lounge, suitable meeting and banquet rooms, a fitness room, saunas, and what must be described as among Norway's most beautiful and astonishing surroundings, with nature that can take your breath away in both summer and winter!
After an active day of hiking in the mountains, cycling in the mountains or on the country road, or enjoying the snow, you can relax in our ladies' and gentlemen's saunas with shower facilities, or recover and stay in shape in our fitness room.

Bjorli is considered to be among Norway's most snow-sure areas, and with miles of groomed cross-country ski trails and a great ski resort nearby, it's easy to enjoy winter activities.
With us you can put on your skis right outside the hotel door, and just 300 meters away, you will find groomed trails for both classic and skating. Ski preparation? We have separate rooms for that too!
After a day in the snow, relaxation awaits in our ladies' and gentlemen's saunas with shower facilities, fitness room and cozy lounge in good social atmosphere for those who wish.

Owned by Mission Sarepta
Bjorliheimen Fjellhotell is run by Misjon Sarepta , which aims to create meeting places between people and the word of God.
Mission Sarepta wants to reach people with the gospel – especially where there is little preaching and few Christian communities. We started in 2014, after some of us had encountered a strong need among Latin Americans in Spain who had lost touch with the faith. It was the beginning of a work that has grown bigger than we first imagined.
We have a simple goal: To create meeting places between people and the word of God. Our vision is that more people will meet Jesus for salvation and new life. Our motto is: Have faith in God .
Our work is based in Norway, but we have a particular focus on Southern Europe, North Africa and South America. In Spain we have established Centro Sarepta – a center for Bible education, camps and diaconal work. We also travel around and visit individuals and groups who do not have a Christian community where they live.
To strengthen our work in Norway and the Nordic region, we are now working to establish a permanent base here at home. Bjorliheimen Fjellhotell is an important part of this strategy. We envision it becoming a gathering place for preaching, teaching and fellowship – and a starting point for further work in the Nordic region.
