Our vision
Among 170 hectares of untouched land with unspoiled view – The Bolder Lodges hovers high above the Lysefjord, one of Norway's most spectacular fjords. A place where people from all over the world want to experience and engage in it's picturesque beauty. These mountains are filled with magical pine trees and boulders placed by the glacier when the ice age came to an end. This nature plot deserved something daring and unique.
Everything we do, everything we create – should be based on the idea that it can be done differently, better and for the good of nature and mankind. This is our promise to ourselves, and our promise to you as a guest.
A promise to the nature.
Explore Ryfylke's nature along Lysefjord, where landmarks such as Kjerag, Fantahola, Fantapytten, Flørli, and iconic Preikestolen beckon you to appreciate the diverse beauty of this region.
f you ever find yourself fully immersed in nature's embrace, The Bolder offers the perfect balance. Just a quick 35-minute drive from Stavanger, you can seamlessly transition from the tranquil natural surroundings to the vibrant urban lifestyle, experiencing the best of both worlds.
We are at a time where we have to go further – we have to dare to be bold and innovative. The Bolder Concept is continuously developing and growing – we strive to create a unique experience and we hope to continue to amaze you.
“We are proud to work with some of the best within architecture and design, giving you a highly curated experience”
"With the Bolder Lodges, we wanted to capture the transitional drama between the fjord and the mountain. They are raised from the terrain – making minimal impact to the nature as well as to enhance the experience that they are at hovering over the fjord.
The Lodges have a mirrored design, which means that the roof and underside have the same design for the visual effect of weightlessness. The approaches to the cabins are raised above the terrain with walkways made of corten steel, as well as careful lighting for the most natural experience possible – and perhaps most importantly, a minimal footprint in nature.
The Bolder cabins are placed discreetly into the existing terrain between the tenaciously growing pine trees, where the surroundings are treated with respect and where everything that has been done, can be reversed – so that in the future it is possible to restore the entire site.
Inside, the dramatic view with the wide connection to the fjord is main focus. Top quality in every aspect makes the overall experience something completely unique.”
