8 bedroom accommodation in Skåbu

Surrounded by lush fields and trees, you will find this fantastic holiday home on Hysjulien Gård, situated in the idyllic mountain village of Skåbu and guarded by the Ruten mountains. Here you live in the exciting realm of Peer Gynt. The roots of the farm go back to the 17th century and the buildings have been renovated with reverence. The holiday home is a beautiful, 150-year-old log cabin with unique details. On the ground floor there are large, harmoniously furnished living rooms with Hysjulien's own fireplaces and long tables. Here you can gather the extended family or friends for conversations and meals. Skåbu (900 metres above sea level), approx. 85 km north-west of Lillehammer, is the highest village community in Northern Europe. Surrounded by Jotunheimen (west), Rondane (east), Gausdal Vestfjell (south) and the Ruten mountains (north), old traditions such as construction, cultural heritage, wood carving, violin playing, weaving and flatbread baking have been passed down from one generation to the next and thus maintained in the village. Hunting and fishing have played an important role in this community for a long time. A highlight in the local calendar is the release of horses in Sikkilsdalen around St John's Day. The performance of the drama Peer Gynt at the open-air theatre on Lake Gålåvatnet at the beginning of August is also a popular event, tickets for which must be booked a year in advance. Other attractions include the "Helvete" ("Hell") gorge in Espedalen, the falconry site at Jotunheimen, the Vinterfossen waterfall, the listed buildings in Heidal and the Besseggen mountain ridge in Jotunheimen.
