Theresa’s Babymoon: Magical Glasscabin in Dalen
Our magical babymoon at Fenja, Vidsyn Midjås in Dalen
In the spring, my partner and I, accompanied by our beloved dog Mocha, embarked on a special babymoon adventure in Norway. Our destination was Dalen, just 1.5 hours from the Larvik ferry, where we stayed at Fenja, a stunning glass cabin perched at Vidsyn Midjås.
From the moment we arrived, the sweeping views of the mountains and town exceeded every expectation we had for the trip.
Where we stayed
We spent two serene days at Fenja, indulging in quiet moments and exploring the local treasures. The glass cabin provided an ideal blend of modern comfort and natural beauty, and the surrounding landscape offered endless opportunities for adventure. One of the most memorable moments was visiting Soria Moria, the iconic floating sauna, as well as hiking the Lårdalstigen trail and marveling at the dramatic Ravne Gorge. The region’s folklore enriched our experience—stories of trolls, huldra, and other mystical creatures seemed to bring the landscape to life.
After full days of exploring, we would return to our cabin, light a fire on the terrace, and relax with a drink while watching the sunset over the mountains. The combination of crisp air, birdsong, and the warmth of the fire made for unforgettable evenings.

How to plan for this adventure:
Visit in Spring or Autumn: While Vidsyn Midjås is beautiful year-round, I recommend visiting in spring or autumn when Dalen is tourist-free. We had the hiking trails and viewpoints all to ourselves!
Take the Early Ferry from Denmark: Start your journey early to maximize your time in Dalen and the glass cabin. Two nights are a must for the full experience.
End Your Trip at Vidsyn Midjås: If I could do it again, I would save the best for last and end the trip at Vidsyn Midjås, as it was the highlight of our entire journey!
