This cottage in Sjusjøen offers a bright, welcoming base for a holiday in the Norwegian mountains. Large windows bring in plenty of daylight, and the living spaces feel made for relaxed time together, whether you are settling onto the sofas with coffee, streaming a film or playing cards with the children.
After a day outside, the sauna adds an easy touch of comfort. The cottage also gives you a cosy fireplace, a smart TV and a practical kitchen and living area, so it works well for longer stays with family or friends.
Step out onto the large terrace and take in the forest views. It is a good place for breakfast in the sun, reading in the fresh air or socialising into the evening, and the fire pit makes outdoor time especially inviting as the stars come out.
From here, Lake Sjusjøen is close enough for a swim, and marked hiking trails start nearby. In summer you can explore the hills by bike and head out fishing, while winter brings some of Norway's best cross-country skiing, with alpine skiing also available in the surrounding resorts. Lillehammer, Maihaugen and the Olympic ski jump are within reach for a day trip, and Rondane National Park offers more unspoilt mountain scenery.
