Autumn at Union Øye is a season of striking contrasts. Snow-dusted peaks rise above valleys brushed in deep gold, amber, and crimson. On still days, the fjord reflects the sky like glass – on stormy ones, the wind howls through the mountains. The shorter days invite you inside, where the fire crackles, and time moves a little slower.

A long soak in a warm bath, the sound of the wind outside, and the quiet calm within – this is autumn at its most restorative. And just as the landscape transforms, so do the flavors. The sea brings in shellfish at their finest, the forest offers mushrooms and berries hidden along mossy paths, and the orchards along the fjords yield apples and fruit, soon to become sweet pastries and preserves.

Whether with a cup of tea or a fireside drink in hand, the inviting living rooms at Union Øye are made for lingering – book in your lap, a puzzle on the table, and nothing on the schedule but stillness.
