About

Skogsro Forest Hostel is a different concept, situated in the forested Lakelands of the southern foothills of Skrim highlands, in the centre of Vestfold-Telemark province, an epicentre of Nordic cultural heritage, and a hub for hiking trails and international NGOs.
We balance the tradition of an 80 years old winter resort/summer camp site, with modern functionality in an international context,
aiming to give our visitors the feeling of being at the very edge of the forest, while enjoying the traditional Norwegian 'kos' (cozyness)
of warm blankets, hot beverage, and flickering bonfire under the northern starsky.

Connected to both nature and the European hostel-vibe, rather than pub-crawls and city tours we offer hikes, expeditions and don't be surprised if you're welcomed to seasonal workshops, artistic and music events.
The international multi-lingual staff has years of experience managing international exchange projects and summer camps, workshops and events, and gladly host and facilitate.
Groups and events are our specialty, and with our local support network we can adapt to most needs, or if you prefer so; simply peace, privacy and recharge.

Conveniently 45 min from Oslo Torp airport, ferry terminals of Sandefjord and Larvik, near to natural sights and reservations, viewpoints, charming costal towns and UNESCO sites, it is a perfect place for you to begin your exploration of Norway, a basecamp to immerse yourself, or from which to plan your Norwegian adventure.
We're at your service in assisting you to make your Norwegian experience the best it can be.
