Accommodation for Pilgrims

At Ersgard, we welcome travellers of all kinds. We are a pilgrim hostel along the St.Olavsleden for those walking both the inner and outer routes. Here, you can stay in a room at our farm hotel and hopefully this will be a memorable stop on your pilgrimage.

We are passionate about ensuring you enjoy your time on the farm, no matter how long you plan to stay. Ersgard has been a meeting place for hundreds of years, and people have found their way here due to the Trøndelag hospitality. Our traditional farm offers a variety of experiences, including accommodation, dining, and various activities. Relax and make yourself at home. You are welcome to stay here for one or more days.
