Experiences at Ytri

The archipelago is made up of 477 islands, islets and skerries, where nature has shaped coastal life for more than 9,000 years. Begin the day with a refreshing swim in the sea, followed by a sauna or outdoor wellness, or ease into the morning in the fitness room. Explore the islands at your own pace by kayak, canoe, SUP or e-bike, or try fishing and diving with equipment from the boathouse.

For those seeking guided experiences, excursions can be arranged to Myken and the Whisky Cathedral, island hopping, lobster fishing, freediving for scallops, and other activities that offer close encounters with nature and local culture. Træna is also home to Kirkehelleren, a cathedral-like cave on the island of Sanna that has served as a gathering place for coastal people for over 9,000 years, as well as local meeting spots such as Træna Kaffekollektiv, Havfolkets Hus and Aloha Café.

Art, music and festivals are woven into everyday life here, giving your stay a rare combination of raw nature, living culture and deep history.
