Authentic Mountain Lodge with a View of Jotunheimen

Authentic Mountain Lodge from 1900 with Spectacular Nature and Endless Hiking Opportunities

Welcome to a charming and historic lodge built in 1900. This unique mountain lodge, originally used by dairymaids in the summer, offers an authentic experience without electricity, creating a calm and relaxing atmosphere. Here you will truly find peace.

The lodge is located at 1100 meters above sea level, surrounded by untouched nature and several fishing waters. The area is private, with no marked trails, providing endless opportunities for hiking in spectacular surroundings.

Explore the Lodge

The lodge consists of a hallway, living room, kitchen, kitchenette, and one bedroom. Despite its age, the space is well utilized, and the lodge feels spacious. The outdoor area has benches and tables made of stone, perfect for enjoying the fresh mountain air.

The bedroom has five sleeping places: a double bed, a single bed, and two shorter beds. Additionally, there is an older bed in the living room. The bedroom has recently been upgraded with longer and more comfortable beds as well as new mattresses. Even without electricity or running water, the lodge is well equipped with a gas stove, propane refrigerator, and an outdoor tap with fresh mountain water. The outdoor toilet is located in the old barn next to the lodge.

Experience Mountain Life

Around the lodge, you can often see sheep and reindeer grazing in the mountains. For those who enjoy fishing, there are several fishing waters at various distances from the lodge, some requiring a fishing permit, which we can assist with. The hiking opportunities are many, and we have mapped out the best hikes in the area.
