For over 70 years, Ruten Fjellstue has been providing accommodation in traditional rooms in a friendly atmosphere to the visitor in the north of Espedalen region, and not surprisingly, the hotel is painted in the traditional deep red of the Norwegian countryside.

Here you can relax after a day in the fresh air, in warm and comfortable traditional surroundings, and enjoy the carved wooden features and delightful fireplace, far from the pressures of modern-day living.

Featuring wide-ranging views across the valley to the distant peaks, the hotel is the perfect place for both the active and the more passive traveller – and you the decision and take your pick. Offering comfortable accommodation along with traditional home-cooked food, the hotel provide an excellent base from which to explore the valley, or simply enjoy being there amongst the landscape.

After a day hiking in the mountains, or a day simply spent looking at them, you can luxuriate with a long, soothing soak in the outdoor hot tub, whilst taking in the magnificent views across the lake to the valley and mountains.

An additional benefit to many guests is the onsite craft brewery, which create a number of distinctive local brews which can be sampled and enjoyed where they were created, with examples available for purchase at the hotel.
