The Tree Top Cabin – an adventure six meters up
Deep in the Norwegian forests near Trysil, high up among the trunks, there hides a little house. You walk up the gangway, and with each step, the world below becomes a little smaller. Six meters up, the treetops open up, the air smells of pine and resin, and in front of you, the river flows calmly on, just as it always has.
In the morning, you are awakened by the wind playing in the branches and the light seeping through the trees. You take your coffee out onto the veranda, wrap the blanket around your shoulders, and listen. There is no traffic and no hustle. Just the forest, the river, and your own breath.
The days almost shape themselves. You can cast your fishing rod into the river and watch the line glide with the current, disappear into the soft forest paths, or light a fire at the grill cabin down by the water and let the scent of smoke and grilled food fill the air. In late summer, the area around the tree top cabin is bursting with wild blueberries and lingonberries. Pick and eat as many as you can.
In winter, the forest lies white and still, the cross-country ski tracks wind right past the cabin, and it’s only a ten-minute drive to the slopes at Trysilfjellet. During the winter, you may be lucky enough to spot and enjoy the sight of the northern lights, directly from the skylights of the tree top cabin or from the terrace.
As darkness falls over the treetops, the wood stove crackles, and the warmth spreads in the small room. Outside, the forest becomes completely silent, and it feels as if the cabin is floating somewhere between heaven and earth.
The cabin runs on 12-volt electricity and gas, and the water comes from a tank inside the cabin. Here, you live a little simpler and a little closer to nature, and that’s exactly why everything feels a little more. The tree top cabin is the place for romantic days for two, for the family dreaming of a real tree top adventure, and for anyone longing to switch off from everyday life and feel the forest deep within.
