When autumn arrives in Ulvik, the village dresses itself in the most beautiful colors nature can offer. The mountainsides around the Hardangerfjord glow in shades of red, orange, and gold, reflected in the calm fjord waters. The apple orchards are full of ripe fruit, and the scent of apples lingers like a soft blanket over the village.

It is a time for calm and reflection, but also for life and traditions. In Ulvik, autumn is the season for apple festivals and cider pressing, where local farms offer tastings of fresh apple juice and craft cider. The hiking trails along the fjord and up into the mountains turn into fairytale paths, where every step crunches in dry leaves and the view becomes more breathtaking the higher you climb.

The light is different in autumn. It is soft, golden, and low, as if the sun is taking its time saying farewell before winter sets in. The evenings are clear and cool, and it’s easy to find a cozy spot indoors with a warm drink while the rain taps gently on the window.

Autumn in Ulvik is a season for the senses — a time when nature shows itself from its most poetic side.
