Nes Mountain Church – unique accommodation for groups

Nes Mountain Church is a unique gathering place in the mountains, offering 32 beds divided between two dormitories and two leader rooms. With 150 sqm and a stunning location at 1000 meters above sea level, right next to Ranten Hotel, it is ideal for school classes, confirmation camps, scout groups, groups of friends, or several families traveling together.

The church was consecrated on August 21, 1994, and its design, symbolism, and construction were largely carried out by local hands. Here you will find a special combination of history, community, and practical facilities – perfect for larger groups who want to stay close to nature.
