A Far Away Adventure

Ravens Eye is beautifully located at the top of the village with a magnificent view of Lake Jormsjön and the Swedish-Norwegian mountains. Your accommodation consists of a guesthouse with ten double rooms with shower/WC in each room. There is also a wonderful lounge and a breakfast room. At Ravens Eye you also find a timeless rough-hewn timbered house in which a feast is prepared every night. By the light of the fire we enjoy a meal based on local traditions and the surprises of the season. At the grounds there is also a chapel for weddings and baptisms, a sauna and an outdoors hot tub.

We have designed and built everything ourselves and with influences from Iceland, the Viking Age and the world of the Gaul’s our wish is to give you a sense of freedom, and we hope that you will find a source for inspiration. No matter what you have experienced in the past we guarantee you that Ravens Eye is a new and unique experience.

 

Land of Possibilities

Far from everyday life in the small mountain village of Jorm you find myth and adventure and a unique accommodation in the wilderness. Irrespective of whether you have come for fishing, hunting, challenges or just peace and harmony it is the barren but magnificent landscape that has been the attraction. Starting at Ravens Eye at the foot of the mountain,we take you on an adventure in a landscape with unlimited possibilities.

The area of Frostviken offers many possibilities. It is a sparsely populated area with mountain moors, barren peaks, brooks and crystal clear mountain lakes. Here you find northern Europe’s longest water filled canyon, Sweden’s longest cave, Bjurälven nature reserve and infinite space for recreation and reflection.

 

The Day When Uhrd Met Herm, the Raven

Legends and fairy tales have been told for generations.Many have been forgotten, but some are still well known today. In the area around Jorm the legend of the Stone Age hunter Uhrd is told. A legend so strong that it in our time has been the inspiration for a unique place that leaves no one unaffected – Ravens Eye.

“At the time when the inland ice had melted, Lake Gorm had been formed. It was before the pine and the spruce had occupied the land and the forests mostly consisted of broad-leaf trees and fern plants.

At the northern end of Lake Gorm there was a large island. At the northern part of the island and on the opposite side of the narrow strait man had come from the west and made their settlings. One day, when time not yet meant hours, minutes and seconds and people’s lives were guided only by the motion of the sun and the moon, something happened that still effects the people living around the lake that today is called Jorm.” More of the legend and why we, as a tribute to the raven, have built Ravens Eye will be told after dinner by the dying embers in a relaxing and peaceful environment.
