Idyllic Lakeside Chalet in Slåstad: Your Perfect Norwegian Second Home Retreat

Step out onto the terrace on a clear July morning, coffee in hand, and the whole of Byglandsfjorden opens up in front of you — that deep, glacier-carved water catching the early light, a rowing boat cutting silently across the surface somewhere below. This is the daily reality at Hagenes 25. Not a view you admire once and forget. One that keeps changing, keeps pulling you back outside. Built in 2008 and sitting on a gently elevated plot at Hagenesodden in Bygland municipality, this two-bedroom cabin is the kind of place southern Norway does better than almost anywhere in Europe. It's solid, thoughtfully put together, and in genuinely good condition — no renovation projects lurking beneath the surface. Just a well-kept retreat ready to be lived in from the first weekend you own it. The setting is what stops you. At roughly 220 meters above sea level, the cabin looks out over Byglandsfjorden — one of Norway's great inland fjords, stretching nearly 40 kilometers through the Setesdal valley. Down at the waterline, a short walk from the front door, there's a private dock. You can moor a boat there, cast a line for pike or perch at dusk, or simply sit with your feet over the edge and let the silence do its work. In summer, the water is warm enough to swim. That detail surprises most visitors who arrive expecting Norwegian waters to be freezing — Byglandsfjorden's sheltered position means swimming from mid-June through August is genuinely pleasant. Inside, the layout is sensibly designed — everything on a single level, which matters more than you'd think once you've spent a full day hiking and don't fancy stairs. The open-plan living and kitchen area is bright, with high ceilings and large windows framing the fjord on one si ... click here to read more

Picture this: it's a Tuesday morning in February, the kind where the air has that sharp, clean bite that wakes you up faster than coffee. You pull on your ski boots at the front door of your own cabin at Bekkekollhellinga 16, clip into your cross-country skis, and glide straight onto the groomed trail that runs less than 50 meters below the property. No shuttle. No parking lot. No queue. Just you, the pines, and about a thousand square meters of Norwegian mountain silence surrounding you. That's the daily reality at this 65-square-meter chalet sitting at roughly 600 meters above sea level in the Blefjell/Åslandseter area — a well-established mountain retreat zone in Numedal, Telemark, about two hours south of Oslo. Lampeland sits at the foot of this plateau, and from the cabin you're positioned centrally between Blestølen and Blestua, which puts you within easy reach of virtually everything this region offers while keeping the property itself tucked away and genuinely private. The south-facing exposure is one of the first things you notice. On clear days — and there are many, especially in spring and early autumn — the terrace catches sun from mid-morning until evening. The 25-square-meter outdoor deck is partially covered, so a light rain doesn't send you inside. There's a custom-built outdoor fireplace out here too, which extends the usable season considerably. Come September, when the birch trees turn gold and the nights cool fast, you can still sit outside long after dark with a fire going and a glass of something warm. That's the kind of detail that turns a holiday cabin into a proper second home. Inside, the layout is open and sensible. The living room, dining area, and kitchen flow together without feeling cram ... click here to read more

Step outside on a February morning at Bekjordsvegen 36 and you'll hear almost nothing — just the soft compression of snow under your boots and, somewhere in the tree line, a woodpecker working at a birch. Strap on your skis, and within three minutes you're on a groomed cross-country trail threading through the Numedal valley. That's not a selling point dressed up in fancy language. That's just Tuesday here. Lyngdal i Numedal sits in the long, quiet valley of the Numedalslågen river, roughly two hours from Oslo by car along the E134. It's the kind of place Norwegians have been keeping to themselves for generations — serious hiking territory in summer, a cross-country skier's paradise from November through March, and in between, a landscape that shifts from amber birch forests to frozen lakes with an unhurried confidence. The village has a petrol station, a local shop, and the kind of community noticeboard that still gets used. That's part of the appeal. The chalet at Bekjordsvegen 36 is a solid three-bedroom cabin in good condition, sitting on a leasehold plot of approximately 1,000 square metres. At 80 square metres of internal living space, it's not enormous — but the layout is well thought out. A living room with large windows pulls in the treeline views and the generous daylight that arrives in midsummer from before 5am. The wood-burning stove anchors the room. On a cold January evening with the stove going and snow banking up against the glass, it earns its place in a way no underfloor heating system ever quite does. The kitchen is functional with pine-fronted cabinets and a laminate worktop — honest, unpretentious, and perfectly usable. It won't win any design awards, and buyers who want a showroom kitchen will w ... click here to read more

Early on a July morning at Grepperødveien 28, the smell of pine resin and damp earth drifts through the bedroom window before you're even fully awake. You pull on a fleece, step out onto the 68-square-meter terrace, and the only sound is a woodpecker somewhere deep in the birches. Then the water appears through the trees—Vansjø, glittering flat and silver, maybe two minutes' walk away. Your boat is already moored at your private dock. That's when it clicks: this is actually yours. Sperrebotn sits on the northeastern shore of Vansjø, the largest lake in Østfold county. It's not a place most international buyers stumble across by accident, which is exactly why the handful of cabins along Grepperødveien feel so genuinely unhurried. No holidaymakers clutching maps. No ice cream queues. Just a working Norwegian landscape of forest, farmland, and glassy lake water that has barely changed in fifty years. The chalet itself was built in 1965 and wears its age honestly—wooden panel walls, warm plank floors, the kind of craftsmanship that gets more satisfying to live with every year rather than less. At 54 square metres the layout is tight but cleverly so: an entrance hall that catches wet boots and rain jackets, a simple toilet room, two bedrooms, and a single open living and kitchen space that becomes the gravitational centre of every stay. The fireplace is the room's anchor. On a wet October afternoon, when the birches outside have gone gold and the lake is running steel-grey, you'll light it within ten minutes of arriving and not regret a single thing about owning this place. The kitchen has been updated in recent years. Freestanding appliances, a manual water solution—yes, there's no running water, which is common across le ... click here to read more

Step out onto the west-facing terrace at six in the evening, coffee in hand, and watch the light go copper across the Kyrkjebygdheia ridgeline. The forest below is quiet except for wind moving through spruce. No traffic. No notifications that feel urgent. Just 1,772 square meters of Norwegian highland freehold and that particular kind of silence that you only find at 700 meters above sea level. This is what owning a cabin in Nissedal actually feels like. Holmvassvegen 56 sits on the Kyrkjebygdheia plateau in Telemark county — a part of inland Norway that doesn't make the Instagram reels but absolutely should. Nissedal municipality covers a sprawling landscape of lakes, bog-pine forest, and open mountain terrain that locals have been quietly treasuring for generations. The cabin itself is a solid, well-kept two-bedroom Norwegian hytte on a generous freehold plot, priced at €123,000 — which, by any reasonable measure of what you're getting, is serious value for a freehold mountain property in Scandinavia. The 46-square-meter footprint is classic Norwegian cabin proportions: enough space to live comfortably with family or a group of friends, compact enough that maintenance never becomes a second job. You walk in through a proper entrance hall — wide enough to actually hang wet hiking gear and kick off boots without it becoming a chaotic pile — and into a living room where large windows pull the forest right into the room. The ceiling height gives the space a lightness you don't expect from a small cabin. A sofa corner, space for armchairs, a natural dining area. On winter evenings the wood stove does exactly what a wood stove should do in Norway. The kitchen works. Profiled cabinet fronts, solid timber countertops, open ... click here to read more

Step outside on a crisp October morning, coffee in hand, and watch the frost on the valley floor melt as the sun clears the ridge above Nystølåsen. At 890 metres above sea level, the air is different up here. Sharper. Quieter. The kind of quiet where you notice birdsong you'd forgotten existed. This three-bedroom mountain chalet at Knatten 37 in Etnedal sits on 1,003 square metres of solid Norwegian bedrock, and it earns every kroner of its asking price in the currency of uncomplicated living. No neighbours crowding the terrace. No traffic noise drifting up through the pines. Just a southwest-facing slope, a genuinely snow-secure winter, and a small pond glinting 200 metres down the trail. The cabin was built in 1999 and has been looked after with the kind of quiet diligence that only shows up when you actually inspect the details — exterior stain applied regularly to both the main building and the insulated outbuilding, terraces treated with Møre Tyri, everything structurally sound and move-in ready. The current owners are willing to sell it fully furnished, which means the kitchen, the bunk beds, even the dining chairs hand-painted with capercaillie motifs, all stay if you want them. You could realistically arrive on a Friday afternoon, light the fireplace, and have nowhere to be until Monday. That fireplace anchors the 22.3-square-metre living room — the social heart of the cabin. Large windows pull the mountain panorama inside, and when the wood is burning and the light is going golden across the valley, it's difficult to think of a reason to be anywhere else. The kitchen is compact and honest: a practical U-shape at 7.5 square metres with upper cabinets and enough counter space for serious post-hike cooking. The ... click here to read more

Step outside on a January morning and the entire valley is white, dead quiet except for the faint scrape of your own skis. Gaustatoppen sits right there across the ridge, its pyramid silhouette sharp against a pale Nordic sky. From the veranda of this cabin at Finntoppvegen 48, that view is yours every single day you're here. Not a postcard. The real thing. Skirvedalen is one of those corners of Telemark that Norwegians guard a little jealously. The valley sits inside Tinn municipality, tucked into the highland plateau at roughly 878 meters above sea level, and it has none of the overbuilt, après-ski busyness you'd find closer to Rauland or Geilo. What it has instead is 109 kilometers of groomed cross-country trails threading through birch and pine, almost total quiet on weekday mornings, and the kind of air that makes you feel like you've been doing something wrong by breathing city air for so long. This chalet was built in 1998 and has been properly refreshed in 2024 — new bathroom, updated laundry and technical room, fixtures that don't feel like an afterthought. The overall condition is good throughout. It's 54 square meters of interior space, which sounds compact until you're actually inside and realize the open-plan layout between the living area and kitchen makes the whole main floor feel generous and social. Big windows pull the landscape in. On a clear afternoon the light off Gaustatoppen pours through and pools across the wooden floor in a way that genuinely stops you mid-conversation. The fireplace is the heart of winter evenings here. Get back from a few hours on the trails — the groomed cross-country network starts just 178 meters from the front door, which in practice means you click into your skis on th ... click here to read more

The first thing you notice on a summer morning at Kilegrendsvegen 1182 is the silence—not the empty kind, but the full kind. Birdsong across the water. A light wind moving through the pines. The faint creak of a rowboat you're allowed to keep moored right on Dåstjønn, just waiting. This is what you came to Norway for. Treungen sits in the Nissedal municipality of Telemark, and it's the kind of place that doesn't shout about itself. No crowds, no tourist queues. Just clear glacial lakes, forest trails ribboning out in every direction, and a sky that turns genuinely extraordinary in late August when the bilberries ripen and the light goes golden low across the hills. The cabin at Kilegrendsvegen 1182 sits within a small, quiet cabin community right between lakes Drang and Dåstjønn—two of the most swimmer-friendly lakes in the area, with sandy-edged shores and water so clear you can see the bottom a meter down. At 47 square meters, this two-bedroom chalet is compact but not cramped. The layout makes sense for the way people actually use a cabin: you come in, you drop your gear, and you're comfortable. The living room has dark wood paneling that gives off that specific warmth you only get in properly old-school Norwegian hytte interiors—the kind that takes the edge off a cold evening after a long day on the trails. The wood-burning stove does the rest. You sit in front of it with a bowl of something hot and you genuinely don't want to be anywhere else. The kitchen has been recently renovated and fitted with new cabinetry, a refrigerator, and a gas stove. Practical, clean, and more than adequate for cooking proper meals—think slow-cooked reindeer stew on a winter weekend, or a pan of pan-fried perch pulled from Dåstjønn th ... click here to read more

You wake up to silence. Not the muffled, negotiated silence of a city apartment with double glazing — actual silence, broken only by the creak of log walls contracting in the cold and the faint whisper of wind moving through spruce trees. Pull back the curtain and there's a metre of fresh snow on the sod roof, the ski trail groomed and waiting less than fifty metres from your front door. That's the morning this cabin offers, over and over again. Sitting at 652 metres above sea level in the Nøklåkjølen area of Rendalen, this compact, well-built log chalet has a clarity of purpose that a lot of mountain properties lack. It was built to be used hard, to feel warm the moment you step inside, and to send you back outdoors recharged. At 58 square metres across the main cabin, with a separate annex and a timber outbuilding on a 926 m² freehold plot, it delivers on all three counts. The construction is solid log — not a decorative finish, actual stacked log walls that date to 2011 — topped with a traditional sod roof that keeps the interior at a remarkably even temperature year-round. Inside, the open-plan living room and kitchen is anchored by a fireplace that does real work. After a long day on the trails, you come in, peel off your layers in the entrance hall (dimmable spotlights, generous boot storage), and within twenty minutes you're horizontal on the sofa with the fire going and steam rising off your coffee. The kitchen is fitted with aged-painted fronts, a solid wood worktop, and gas-powered appliances — practical, unhurried, exactly right for the setting. The dining area sits beside it, with space for a proper long table where everyone can eat together at the end of a day. Two bedrooms handle the sleeping arrangement ... click here to read more

Step outside on a February morning at 874 meters above sea level, and the silence hits you first. Not the absence of sound exactly, but the kind of deep, textured quiet you only find in the Norwegian mountains — a crow somewhere distant, the creak of snow settling on the roof, and the faint hiss of wind threading through the birch trees beyond the fence line. The kettle is on inside. The fireplace still holds last night's embers. This is Slåsætra, and once you've spent a weekend here, the idea of not owning a place in these hills becomes genuinely hard to sit with. The chalet at Linviksetervegen 131 sits on a generous, fenced 1,706 square meter plot in one of Innlandet county's most quietly sought-after mountain communities. Fåvang itself — the nearest village, about 10 kilometers down the valley — is small and functional in the best way: a grocery store, a train station on the Oslo-Trondheim line, and the kind of low-key infrastructure that lets you arrive on a Friday evening and not have to think about logistics again until Sunday. Up here at Slåsætra, though, the village may as well be a different world. The chalet measures 75 square meters and is in good condition throughout. It's not a renovation project — you can use it from day one. The ground floor opens into a combined living and kitchen area with high ceilings and large windows that pull the mountain view right into the room. On a clear April afternoon, the light in here is almost unreasonably good, that particular Nordic gold that comes in low and warm and seems to make everything glow slightly. A fireplace anchors the living area. You will use it constantly. On the coldest nights in January, with the solar panels quietly doing their job and the woodstove ti ... click here to read more

Step outside on a February morning, clip into your cross-country skis right at the edge of the property, and push off into a white plateau that stretches further than you can see. No shuttle bus. No queue. Just you, the track, and the particular hush that only falls on a Norwegian mountain when fresh snow has settled overnight. That's the daily reality at Nørdre Einarsetlie 9 — a well-kept mountain chalet on Golsfjellet that has been quietly doing its job for decades, and doing it well. Gol sits in Hallingdal, a valley that Norwegians have been escaping to for generations. It's not a secret, exactly, but it's far enough from Oslo's orbit — about two and a half hours by car along the E16 — that it retains the unhurried rhythm that makes a proper mountain retreat worth having. The Golsfjellet plateau above the town is where the cabin culture thrives, and Nørdre Einarsetlie is one of its most established addresses. Neighbouring cabins are spread apart generously. You hear wind and birds, not neighbours. The chalet itself was originally built in 1973. Fifty-plus years is a long life for a mountain building, and this one has earned it — updated progressively over the years rather than left to quietly deteriorate. The result is a structure that feels honest and lived-in rather than a showroom renovation. Thick walls, a fireplace, a wood-burning stove that you'll want lit by late afternoon even in September. When the stove is going and the large living-area windows have gone dark with evening, there's a particular quality of warmth in here that newer builds tend to miss. The layout across the 72 square metres is practical without feeling cramped. An entrance hall handles the wet gear — boots, skis, poles, all of it — before ... click here to read more

The first thing you notice on a crisp October morning at Bjørkestubben 24 is the silence. Not the uncomfortable kind — the rare, earned kind that only arrives when you're sitting at 920 metres above sea level, wrapped in a wool blanket, watching mist lift off the Hallingdal valley below while a birch log crackles in the stove behind you. That's the daily reality of this place. Not a simulation of Norwegian mountain life, but the genuine article. This is a Hallingstue — a traditional timber log structure rooted in the architecture of the Hallingdal region — built in 1913 and originally part of the fabric of Robru before being carefully relocated to Sjauset in the early 1970s. The annex arrived later, moved piece by piece from Vestre Gausdal in 2000, itself a former retirement home with its own quiet history. Two buildings, two stories, one remarkable property sitting on 1,000 square metres of freehold mountain land just outside Gol in the heart of Numedal and Hallingdal's most celebrated outdoor country. The logs are dark with age in the best possible way. Inside the main cabin, the walls tell you immediately that this is not a flat-pack weekend house. Exposed timber, low beams, and a fireplace that dominates the living room create a warmth that central heating simply can't replicate. Upstairs via a narrow wooden staircase, a loft opens into sleeping spaces that feel tucked away from the world — perfect for children or guests who want their own corner of the mountain. The main bedroom is proper-sized, grounded, comfortable. The kitchen is one of those rooms you want to cook in: solid wood cabinetry painted in a deep, slightly weathered blue, a chunky wood countertop, a freestanding induction hob, and a wood-burning stov ... click here to read more

Picture this: it's a Saturday morning in February, the thermometer outside reads minus eight, and you're standing at the kitchen window in thick wool socks watching fresh snow pile up on the spruce branches while the coffee brews. The Balmielva river is frozen solid just down the slope, and the ski trail to Fjellandsbyen cuts right below the cabin, maybe forty metres away. You can hear nothing. That particular, almost physical silence that only exists at altitude, in winter, in Norway. That is what Naustbuktveien 3 actually feels like. Sulitjelma sits at roughly 498 metres above sea level in the mountains of Nordland, about 75 kilometres east of Fauske and the E6 highway. It's not a place most international buyers stumble across — and that's precisely its value. The village grew out of one of Norway's most significant copper mining operations, and the legacy of that industrial past gives the place a grittier, more authentic character than the polished ski resorts further south. The Sulitjelma Mining Museum up the road documents the whole story, from 19th-century tunnels to the early-20th-century boom years, and it's genuinely worth an afternoon. But most people come here for the landscape, and the landscape does not disappoint. The chalet itself is compact at 46 square metres — two bedrooms, a living room, and a functional kitchen — but the layout makes clever use of every square metre. The entrance hall keeps the cold at the door. The living room catches the afternoon sun, and the views across the open terrain are the kind that make you put your book down. The property is sold fully furnished: sofa, dining table, refrigerator with freezer, TV. You could drive up on a Friday evening and be entirely comfortable by the t ... click here to read more

Step outside on a February morning and the only sound is the creak of fresh snow under your boots. The trail from Åsveien 499 pushes straight into the Meråker hills, and by the time the sun clears the ridge to the southeast, it's pouring onto a south-west facing terrace that stays warm well into the afternoon. This is what 581 meters above sea level actually feels like — not a postcard, but a cold nose and hot coffee and nowhere you'd rather be. The chalet sits on Åsveien in one of Trøndelag's most accessible yet genuinely quiet mountain areas. Meråker is the kind of place that Norwegians know well but international buyers are only just discovering — an hour by road from Trondheim Airport (Værnes), with a train station just 17 minutes from the door. You're not trading convenience for wilderness here. You're getting both. The main cabin was built in 1968 and thoroughly rebuilt and extended in 2013. That renovation did something important: it preserved the cabin's honest, timber-framed character while adding the things that make a property actually liveable — proper insulation, modern electrics, running water, and a bathroom with underfloor heating. Too many mountain properties of this era still have one foot in the past. This one made the full crossing. Inside, the open-plan living room and kitchen runs to 39 square meters, which sounds like a number until you're standing under the high ceiling watching late-afternoon light slide across the mountains through windows that take up most of the south-facing wall. The fireplace anchors the living area — a wood-burner, not decorative — and on a November evening it earns its place. The kitchen is fitted with white cabinetry, a solid wood worktop, and integrated appliances. No ... click here to read more

Step outside on a July morning in Luftjok and the air hits differently — cool, clean, faintly carrying the smell of river water and pine resin. The Tana River glints through the treeline a short walk away, and the sun, which barely sets this time of year, has already been up for hours. That's the daily reality of owning a chalet at Austertanaveien 626. Not a fantasy. The actual morning. This three-bedroom chalet sits on a generous 2,329 square metre plot just 7 kilometres from Tana bru in the heart of Finnmark, Norway's vast northernmost county. Built in 2000 and kept in genuinely good condition, the 98-square-metre main cabin is compact enough to heat and manage easily, but spacious enough that a family of five doesn't get on each other's nerves after three rainy days in a row. That's a real consideration up here, and the layout handles it well. The ground floor opens through a practical entrance hall — somewhere to shed muddy boots and waders after a morning on the river — into an open-plan living room and kitchen that forms the social core of the house. Large windows pull in the light, and in Finnmark's endless summer, there's a lot of it. A fireplace anchors the sitting area; come October when the birch forests go gold and the temperatures start to bite, you'll be glad it's there. Two bedrooms and a combined bathroom and laundry room round out the ground level. Upstairs, a loft lounge gives you a quieter retreat — a reading nook, a place to put the kids, a spot to sit with a coffee and watch the light change over the wilderness outside. The third bedroom sits up here too, giving the property a natural separation between sleeping areas. What sets this property apart from a typical cabin offering is the infrastructu ... click here to read more

Stand on the south-facing terrace at Risvikstien 6 on a July evening and you'll understand immediately why people come to this stretch of the Trøndelag coast and never quite manage to leave. The light at that hour is extraordinary — low, golden, pulling long shadows across the water — and from up here, with the Fosen peninsula spread out below you, the noise of the world feels very far away. That terrace, built in 2020 and generously proportioned at 66 square meters, is honestly the heart of this property. You'll eat breakfast out there. You'll lose track of time out there. That's the point. This is a two-bedroom holiday chalet at Risvikstien 6 in Oksvoll, a quiet coastal settlement in the municipality of Ørland, Trøndelag. The main cabin covers 44 square meters — compact, yes, but thoughtfully laid out with a living room, kitchen, bathroom, and two bedrooms that sleep up to six comfortably. An 11-square-meter annex sits separately on the 715-square-meter plot, which gives the whole place a flexibility that a single structure never could. Guests get their own space. Kids get their hideaway. You get the cabin to yourselves. The sea is 200 meters away. Not a figure of speech. Two hundred meters down the lane and you're at the water's edge. Oksvoll sits on the southern tip of Fosen, a broad peninsula that juts into the Trondheim Fjord between the open sea and sheltered inner waters. This geography matters enormously for how you'll actually use the place. The coastline here is a mix of smooth rock shelves worn flat by millennia of tide and small sandy inlets that warm up quickly in June. Local families have been swimming off these rocks since before anyone can remember. You'll find yourself doing the same within about for ... click here to read more

Pull on your boots at the door and ski straight into 100 kilometers of groomed trails. That's the reality of mornings at this three-bedroom Norwegian mountain chalet in Veggli — a proper, no-fuss cabin sitting 850 meters above sea level at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac on Søre Vorsetkroken, where the only sound after snowfall is the creak of pine trees and, if you're lucky, the distant knock of a woodpecker working through the bark. This is Søre Vegglifjell. Not a resort, not a development — an established, authentic Norwegian cabin community where families have been coming for generations. The nearest trailhead is 350 meters from your front door. The nearest neighbor is far enough away that you won't hear them. And the road stays clear all year, which matters more than people realize until the first time they try to reach a Norwegian mountain cabin in November with a car full of kids and gear. Inside, the 76-square-meter layout does what good cabin architecture is supposed to do: it makes every meter count. Walk in and the wood-burning stove in the living room immediately does the emotional heavy lifting. It's that kind of room — windows framing the mountains to the west and northwest, the light changing through the afternoon from sharp and white in winter to long and golden in July, when the Norwegian summer stays bright until almost midnight. The open plan means the kitchen, dining area, and living space all flow together, which is exactly what you want when eight people are coming in from a ski day simultaneously, wet jackets piling up, something warm on the stove. The kitchen is sensible and complete — stove, fridge, microwave, all included. A bar counter separates it from the dining space, which opens directly o ... click here to read more

Step outside on a September morning at Smørhølvegen 11 and the air hits differently — sharp, clean, faintly resinous from the surrounding pine forest. Below the terrace, a river runs through the valley. No traffic. No neighbours cutting grass. Just water over rock and the occasional crack of a wood pigeon taking flight from the treeline. This is what 688 metres above sea level in Valdres feels like, and it's the kind of quiet that people drive hours to find. Bagn is a small village in the Valdres region of Innlandet county, the kind of place that doesn't try to impress you — it just does. The landscape does all the heavy lifting. The Begna river valley carves through rolling highland terrain, and the trails that begin almost literally at the edge of this property fan out into a trail network that keeps hikers busy for entire summers without repeating a route. Locals head up to Veståsen on long June evenings when the light barely fades, making it to the high ridgelines above 900 metres where the views stretch all the way across to Jotunheimen on clear days. The chalet itself was built in 1981 and carries the honest, unfussy character of that era's Norwegian cabin-building tradition. Solid timber construction. Exposed beams in the living room ceiling. A proper fireplace for the evenings when the temperature drops, which it does reliably from September onwards. Big windows face out over the hillside so the living room fills with afternoon light, and the sense of looking out into forest and sky rather than a garden fence or another building is something you simply can't manufacture. The open-plan kitchen connects directly to the main living area — the wood-burning stove in the kitchen corner pulls double duty as a heat sou ... click here to read more
