Bretun
 

Fjordnorway is one of the most popular destinations for tourists in the world. People from every continent are attracted by the magnificant nature with grand mountains, long fjords and glacier tongues easily accessible. Melkevoll Bretun is situated near one of the most important entrances to the national park of the glacier Jostedalen. Our intention is for the Bretun (Glacier courtyard) to be in perfect harmony with the surrounding nature, and we hope and wish for our guests to not only be fascinated but also enriched with knowledge and understanding.

Inge and Gro Melkevoll

Welcome!

Melkevoll Bretun is a camping site and a tourist center at the end of Oldedalen. The surroundings appear to be a big park. They are all part of the Melkevoll Courtyard which has been actuated since the middle of the 16th century. We are the 14th generation, being in charge now. Our names are Inge and Gro Melkevoll. You'll find us among towering mountains, stunning glaciers and sprinkling waterfalls. Starting from the reception, it takes less than an hour to hike the world-renowned Briksdal glacier.

Camping, cabins and one-day parking lots

We can offer one-day parking lots, a camping site for campers, caravans and tents. Furthermore, we rent holiday cabins and camping huts.

Café

Service building

In the main building, you can find a café, a bathroom with showers, a sauna, a camping kitchen and a room for the laundry along with the reception. Right next to the building is the Utelada, a barn with a fireplace and seats for 50 persons, which is the official lounge for our guests.

The Stone Age cave

You can find Norway's eldest scree to the north of the main building. Here we have an open-air arena with a dance floor, another fireplace and benches. Next to it you can find the Stone Age cave - underneath huge rocks, we set a venue with a fireplace in the centre.
