Description
Step outside on a January morning and the ski trail is literally right there — 100 meters from your front door, already groomed, cutting a pale ribbon through the snow toward Hallingskarvet. You don't need to drive anywhere. You just clip in and go.
That's the daily reality at Murstadvegen 14 in Haugastøl, a three-bedroom Norwegian mountain chalet sitting at roughly 1,012 meters above sea level on a generous 3,046-square-meter plot with direct sightlines over Sløddfjorden and the long, dramatic ridge of Hallingskarvet National Park. At 395,000 EUR, it's rare to find this combination of views, access, and practical year-round infrastructure in one of Norway's most beloved highland destinations.
The chalet itself dates to 1987 and has been kept in solid condition — this isn't a renovation project. The 83 square meters of interior space are laid out with clear intention: a main living and dining room with a fireplace where the family naturally gravitates after a cold day out, a fully equipped kitchen adjacent to it, and a separate TV lounge so teenagers and parents can each have their own corner in the evenings. Three bedrooms sleep the full household. One bathroom with WC serves the property, which is standard for a cabin of this era and size in Norway. The 31-square-meter balcony is the real showstopper — a wide timber platform facing the fjord, wide enough for a proper outdoor table, a few chairs, and a long evening with the kind of silence you can't manufacture anywhere closer to a city.
The road in is plowed through winter. That matters more than it sounds. A lot of Norwegian mountain cabins at this elevation become inaccessible or difficult to reach from December through March, which is precisely when you'd most want to be there. Here, the road stays clear. You drive up, unload the gear, light the fire, and you're in it.
Haugastøl sits on the Hardangervidda plateau, the largest mountain plateau in northern Europe, and the landscape is genuinely unlike anything in the Alps or the Pyrenees. It's open, vast, almost lunar in winter — a white expanse broken by frozen lakes and the occasional dark silhouette of a rock face. The Rallarvegen cycling route, one of Norway's most celebrated long-distance rides, passes right through the area. In summer, cyclists from all over Scandinavia and beyond ride the route from Haugastøl down to Flåm, dropping through some of the most dramatic scenery on the continent. That same route becomes a cross-country ski trail in winter, and it connects into a network maintained by DNT (the Norwegian Trekking Association) that stretches for hundreds of kilometers across the plateau.
For hikers, the trails into Hallingskarvet National Park start within easy reach. The hike up to the plateau edge above Finse takes you through arctic-looking terrain that blooms into wildflowers in July, and the views north toward the Folgefonna glacier are the kind you remember for years. Fishing is excellent on both Sløddfjorden and the surrounding mountain lakes — brown trout, mostly, and the season runs from late spring through early autumn.
Speaking of Sløddfjorden: this property comes with the right to moor one boat at the water below the plot, where a small stone jetty has already been built. On a calm August evening, that jetty becomes the most important square meter of the property. Pack a thermos, row out past the reeds, and cast a line while the light goes gold across the water. It's the kind of thing that eventually becomes the whole reason you own the place.
The nearest train station is four minutes away. That's not a typo. The Bergen Railway — one of the most scenic rail journeys in Europe, connecting Oslo and Bergen through the high plateau — stops at Haugastøl. International buyers flying into Oslo Gardermoen can be at the cabin in roughly three hours by train, no rental car required. Bergen Airport is a similar distance in the other direction. A grocery store is 13 minutes away by car, and a larger shopping center is about 26 minutes out. A bus stop is two minutes from the door for anyone arriving without a vehicle.
Ownership structure is freehold (selveier in Norwegian), meaning you hold full title to the property — no leasehold complications, no annual ground rent to a third party. Annual municipal fees run NOK 8,997 and property tax is NOK 1,917 per year. Running costs are genuinely low. The energy label is F, typical for a timber mountain cabin built in the late 1980s, and worth factoring into any plans around insulation upgrades if you intend to use it heavily through the coldest months.
For international buyers, Norway sits outside the EU but is part of the EEA, and there are no restrictions on foreign nationals purchasing residential or leisure property here. Legal transactions are handled through a Norwegian conveyancer (called a megler), and the process is straightforward and transparent. Those considering the property as a rental investment should know that Haugastøl sees strong seasonal demand — winter cabin rentals in the Hardangervidda area are consistently in demand from Oslo families who don't own their own mountain property, and summer hiking and cycling tourism has grown significantly over the past decade.

This chalet is the kind of property that shows up on the market and moves quickly, because the people who find it understand immediately what they're looking at — a real mountain base, in a location with genuine year-round access, next to world-class trails, with its own piece of the fjord. Properties in Haugastøl with this combination of lot size, infrastructure, and views don't come up often.
