Staurneset Cabin

Giske island’s small size and comparatively gentle landscape does not betray the unique part it has played in the history of Norway, as home to noble Viking families whose fame extended far beyond these shores. It is perfect for outings – bike to see the curious mix of well-tended farms and swathes of wild forest, kayak to experience the uniqueness of the North Sea – often visited by orcas, always inhabited by seals, a gem of the great North.
