Both Gaupnetunet Hotel and Pluscamp Sandvik are situated in the centre of the village Gaupne, in quiet surroundings, and are good starting points for activities and attractions in the surrounding area.

Pluscamp Sandvik is an idyllic family campsite by the Sognefjord. The site is in the middle of an old fruit garden, and with views to a part of the Jostedalen glacier area.

Gaupnetunet and Pluscamp Sandvik are situated just between three national parks, and serve as a perfect basecamp for visits to activities and attractions. You can join guided glacier hiking, kayaking, rafting and other guided activities. Best of all perhaps, are all the beautiful hikes you can do on your own.

The reception staff will help you with information about the activities, and booking different trips.

The climate in the Sognefjord area is unique. The spring with blossoming fruit trees by the fjord, snow and winter in the mountains. The summer is of course the busiest time of the year, with a lot of activity everywhere, The autumn can be breathtaking with all the lovely colors in the mountains. This is also the time to sample local produce - fresh fruit and berries. The winter season is not too busy here, so Gaupne he perfect basecamp for those who enjoy winter activities away from the crowds..

A stay at our camp site or hotel gives you the opportunity to experience a range of activities in the area, either on your own, or in the company of one of the competent local guides. We are located in an area between three national parks, and one of the most wonderful activities to be enjoyed here is hiking through the spectacular landscape. 

In Jostedalen valley, about 30km from the hotel and camp site, you have the possibility to join guided walks on the most attractive arm of the Jostedalsbreen glacier: Nigardsbreen. There are also various other sights and activities to be explored in Jostedalen, including rafting and kayaking on glacier lakes. Leirdalen bre og juv offer river canyoning and glacierhiking from their base only 15km from Gaupnetunet, 

Just across the fjord, 5 km from Gaupne, in Marifjøra, you can go on kayak excursions, and hopefully you get to see porpoise and fjord seals.

The municipality of Luster is well known for its many churches. The oldest church in Gaupne dates from 1647 and is well worth a visit. The best known of all the churches in Luster, is Urnes stave church. This church is the only stave church to be included on UNESCO's World Heritage List. Urnes stave church stands in a beautiful landscape on the southern shore of the Lustrafjord, 20 km from Gaupnetunet and Sandvik Camping.
