An experience not to be missed
Unusual designer cabins placed on trees surrounded by the most unspoiled nature, with unique accommodations are now a growing trend in Norway. As soon as it is possible to travel again, it is an experience not to be missed. Choose from stunning designer cabins and rambling buildings that will make your childhood treehouse dream come true. The cabins are located in good hiking and skiing terrain, often near a fishing lake where canoeing is possible in the summer. And the views are always breathtaking.
Here you can really enjoy the silence and disconnect from everyday life
The nature experiences by the cabins are up close, personal and intense. In addition to squirrels and songbirds, you may also spot other Norwegian animals, like moose, deer, beaver and grouse. Here you can really enjoy the silence and disconnect from everyday life. The silence is only broken by the wind in the treetops, and the starry sky is overwhelmingly beautiful. So is the six o’clock morning sun. The perfect way to start your day and experience the benefits of Norwegian friluftsliv and kos.
