The Story Behind Kirk's Bar
After a period where Gaustablikk Fjellresort's founder, Olav Svartdal, returned from his adventurous experiences as a ski instructor for Hollywood celebrities in the majestic Rocky Mountains, he was invited to take on an exciting role as a stuntman for none other than Kirk Douglas.
Svartdal stated that he could undertake the role for 1 million kroner, not realizing that it was in dollars. This unexpected sum became his ticket to realizing a dream. In 1970, Gaustablikk Fjellresort was built, with the majestic mountain landscape serving as the backdrop for this incredible tale.
Inspired by this remarkable experience, the hotel's bar was named "Kirk's Bar."
