A hidden gem

Nestled between the spectacular mountains of the Hjørundfjord, Christian Gaard Bygdetun is more than just a place – it’s an experience. This secluded spot has grown from a modest family farm to a destination known for its stunning views, rustic charm and warm atmosphere.

A place with history

The history of Christian Gaard is rooted in a deep love of creativity, hospitality and beautiful nature. What started out as a small farm with a few goats, chickens and cows has developed into a meeting place for locals, travelers and adventurers.

An venue for music festivals and events

What started as a small music event to coincide with the opening of Trandal power station has grown into an annual festival that attracts blues enthusiasts from all over the country. With first-class bands playing against the backdrop of the fjord and mountains, Trandalblues has become an experience for artists and music lovers alike.
In addition to the blues festival, other festivals and private events are also organized, making it a versatile and unique destination.

A nature experience out of the ordinary

Just getting to Christian Gaard is a little adventure in itself; since Trandal has no road connection to the outside world, visitors have to arrive by boat, ferry or on foot over the mountain – a journey that only reinforces the unique experience.

A destination worth a visit

For those who want to get away from it all and experience something out of the ordinary, Christian Gaard Bygdetun is the perfect place. Whether you come for the music, the food, the history or the stunning views, we promise you a warm welcome and an experience you won’t soon forget.
