Celebrating Christmas at Utne Hotel is like stepping into a world where past and present merge into a magical Christmas story. The hotel, which is one of the oldest in Norway, may be bathed in winter’s soft layers of snow, while inside warm fireplaces, the scent of spruce and freshly baked gingerbread beckon. The atmosphere in autumn and winter is steeped in tradition – every corner tells stories of guests who have sought shelter from the winter cold for over 300 years.
