Cabin with award-winning design on Norefjell

We are Einar and Brita, and we own this beautiful cabin. We have four girls between the ages of 9 and 16, and the cabin is a place we appreciate being able to spend time together. The best thing about the cabin is feeling so close to nature and the mountains, while Ålhytta's award-winning design gives a very cozy and safe feeling all year round. Whether you're sitting at the large kitchen table, in the corner of the sofa or lying with a book in the day bed, you have a huge and beautiful view of Istjenn, Ranten and Høgevarde. The little girls love to play on the loft under the ridge; from here they can also spy on the adults in the living room.

From the cabin you can swim and fish in refreshing mountain lakes in the summer, gather mullet and berries in the fall, and take long skiing trips in the winter. If the weather gets too hard and cold, you can try the sauna and snow bathing. Peiskos and board games are also good options - we have deliberately chosen not to have TV or Wi-Fi in the cabin, even though it was completed in 2022. The idea here is to enjoy nature and each other's company, regardless of the season and weather. There is a road all the way to the cabin in both summer and winter, and an electric car charger on the wall.

The area around the cabin offers many great walks and skiing trips, both long and short. Since you are already 1000 meters above sea level, you are already in great hiking terrain. Our girls' favorite hike goes to the tourist cabin at Høgevarde (1459 m above sea level), where they serve freshly baked waffles. It takes 2-3 hours up, and half as long to get home if we don't stop to pick blueberries. On days with good weather, Ranten 1419 m above sea level is a good alternative - you can often see reindeer here! Einar likes to go for a run to Gråfjell 1466 meters above sea level, a round trip of 14 km. There are many more hikes too - just ask us for advice and tips! Morning swim in the summer and snow bathing in the winter (preferably with a sauna) is also something we really recommend!
