Enjoy an active mountain holiday at Grønolen, a family-run mountain retreat in Valdres. The hosts know the surrounding mountains well and take you on guided hikes through the varied landscapes around Valdresflye and the gateway to Jotunheimen.

Guided Hiking in the Valdres Mountains

Each day offers the opportunity to explore a different part of the surrounding mountain landscape. The hikes range from moderate to challenging, depending on the route and conditions, and take you through open mountain terrain with views towards the peaks of Jotunheimen.

The hosts choose suitable routes based on the weather, conditions and the group, making the hiking experience both flexible and personal.

Stay at Family-Run Grønolen

Grønolen has been run by the same family for generations and is known for its warm atmosphere and good food. After a day in the mountains, you can relax in a peaceful setting and enjoy well-prepared meals based on local traditions and ingredients.

One of the highlights is a visit to the family’s mountain summer farm, where you can enjoy a traditional Norwegian lunch with sour cream porridge and cured meats.

A Mountain Holiday with Local Hosts

This is a great choice if you want to experience the mountains with knowledgeable local hosts rather than following a fixed route on your own. The hikes can be several hours long and may include rocky and uneven terrain, so a good level of fitness is recommended.

A personal mountain experience combining guided hiking, family-run hospitality and excellent Norwegian food.
