About

Haugseter Fjellstue is a traditional mountain lodge with 140 years of history in the high mountains. It is located along Jotunheimvegen, a mountain road that runs through a landscape of old summer farms and pasture cabins. At Haugseter, guests can enjoy a calm and welcoming atmosphere indoors, with homemade food and drinks, often by the fireplace.

The surrounding area offers a wide range of outdoor activities, including hiking, cycling, horseback riding, and skiing. The landscape varies from high peaks with wide views to gentle terrain with old livestock paths, providing opportunities in all directions. This is one of the few areas where traditional summer farming is still active, and fishing is available both in Lake Vinstervann and in several other lakes nearby.

Dining

The food at Haugseter is well regarded in the area. We serve everything from traditional stølslapper (Norwegian pancakes) with jam to homemade, traditional meals and larger set dinners, often based on game, fish from Lake Vinstre, and other local ingredients.

We welcome groups, meetings, and smaller conferences. If you are looking for a scenic setting and a warm, informal atmosphere for your gathering, we are happy to tailor the event to your needs. Menus and wine pairings can be suggested on request. Haugseter Fjellstue is fully licensed.
