Kråkenes fyr was built by the Coastal Administration in 1906. The lighthouse is located in Kinn municipality in Vestland county. The lighthouse was automated in 1986.

From 2019, Ytre Nordfjord Turlag (YNT) has operated the lighthouse as a self-service lodging. We have 15 beds that can be rented all year round. We also have a café that is open every weekend and all public holidays from Easter to the end of August each year.

You can rent the Stormsuite in the Fyrhus (4 beds), or rooms in the Stormhus (2, 3 or 4 bed rooms). The Stormhus is located approx. 50 m from Fyrhuset.

From September to Easter, you can also rent the entire facility – contact us: ytre.nordfjord.turlag@gmail.com

Sights and experiences in the area

Kråkenes fyr is located on one of the most weather-exposed places on the west coast between Ålesund and Bergen. The nature around the lighthouse invites you to explore the seaside and the area aroud the village of Kråkenes. The road from the lighthouse to Kråkenes passes a chapel with a cemetery, boathouses and four mill-houses from the 18th century. 

We also recommend to go by car and visit the other three lighthouses, Skongenes and Hendanes lighthouse on this island (Vågsøy) and Ulvesund lighthouse on the mainland.

You may also visit the beautiful Refviksanden, which has been voted Norway’s most beautiful sandy beach. When you drive from Kråkenes to Kvalheim, you will find a hiking trail to “Nobba” where you can look down at the bird cliff Einevarden – at the largest colony of puffins south of the bird cliff at Runde. After passing Kvalheim you can see Refviksanden to the west. 

You may also want to visit the famous Kannesteinen in Oppedal, 33 km from Kråkenes.

Sagastad at Nordfjordeid is an experience for the whole family with a great Viking ship replica and a VR station where guests can wander around a virtual Viking village at Nordfjordeid.
