New architecture classic with stunning view

About this house

Surrounded by forests and mountains in Flå, you'll find this modern cabin. Here you get a fantastic view of Sørbølnatten, Høgevarde and Krøderen, and many opportunities for nature experiences on foot, on skis or by bike.

Inside the cabin, the ceilings are high, airy and bright. Through the long windows in three directions, you get in close contact with the natural surroundings. Many of the furnishings have been specially designed for the cabin, such as the daybed, sofa, benches and small stools. The hosts designed and built the kitchen themselves, and through deliberate and well-considered interior choices have created a whole that pays tribute to the architectural classic Ålhytta from 1966.

The space-efficient cabin isn't that big, but with functional and thoughtful solutions, as well as high ceilings, it feels spacious even if there are several people together on a cabin trip. Many people can brush their teeth at the same time at the long sink in the bathroom, and two toilets save time in the docking queue when many people are traveling together. In the hallway, there's plenty of space for lots of jackets and shoes, and in the kitchen corner, you can cut vegetables from both sides of the kitchen worktop while someone draws at the dining table.

The different seasons each have their own activities. January starts with snow-covered trees and freshly made ski tracks, if it's a bit windy it's nice to stay down in the forest, but if it's calm, the open spaces in the mountains beckon. When the snow disappears, you can take out your bike or climb the mountain peaks around the cabin, such as the mighty Sørbølnatten. You can also stroll at a leisurely pace along the blue-marked path up to the shelter where you can sit down and enjoy the view, or perhaps light a fire and have a barbecue.

When summer arrives and the temperature rises, it's great to take a dip either in the swimming pool down in the river, in a mountain lake or in Store Veåsvann, which has a jetty from which you can dive. If you're running errands down in the valley, the long sandy beach in Gulsvik, where Hallingdalselva flows into Krøderen, is recommended. Late summer and fall is the time to pick berries such as blueberries, cloudberries and lingonberries. When you get back to the cabin, you can sit together in the cabin wall and clean your catch, before frying pancakes on the campfire and enjoying them with fresh blueberries.
