Skjerjehamn

Skjerjehamn is a part of FIRDA SEAFOOD GROUP AS and is an old trading post (since 1640) at the port of Sognefjorden, approximately 90 minutes from Bergen.

The area was restored in 2006 and is now home to a hotel and restaurant. In summer, the facilitys marina is a popular stop for boating and sailing tourists.

Skjerjehamn is a popular spot for big celebrations such as anniversaries, weddings, confirmations and christenings, and also serves as a conference centre for companies from far and wide. In the last weekend of July it hosts a music festival called Utkantfestivalen, which in recent years has welcomed more than 15.000 visitors.
By keeping life in the old trading post Skjerjehamn, FIRDA SEAFOOD GROUP AS is an active contributor to the well- being of the local community, and we are proud to help the traditions live on there.
