About this lodge

Gandalv Hytte sits at the top of the mountain above Vrådal, at the edge of the forest, with views reaching out over the lake.

Four bedrooms sleep eight — two upstairs, two downstairs — with three double beds and a bunk bed between them. Every bedroom has a wardrobe and hangers for longer stays. 

Two bathrooms serve the house, each with a shower, toilet and bidet. 

Outside, a balcony and covered terrace look out over the mountains, with garden furniture and a veranda close by. Parking for two cars and an EV charging point complete the house.

Where you’ll be

Mountain-Top Views Over Vrådal

This remarkable location offers one of the most impressive views in Vrådal, perched high above the valley with sweeping vistas of Lake Vråvatn, the village center, and the surrounding mountains. Its position at the edge of the forest creates a peaceful and private setting while still keeping you close to the area’s attractions.

From here, you can easily explore Vrådal. The ski slopes are just a short drive away, and the village center—with shops, cafés, and essential amenities—is within walking distance. In summer, enjoy hiking, kayaking, fishing, cycling, and the unique island golf course. Vrådal truly offers adventure and relaxation year-round.

The property’s location guarantees beautiful panoramic views, quiet surroundings at the forest’s edge, and a corner site with sun from morning to evening. You’re within walking distance of Vrådal center, just five minutes from the ski slopes, and surrounded by mountains, lakes, and scenic nature trails. For extra adventure, Krakero and Hamaren Activity Park are only 1.5 hours away, while major cities like Oslo, Kristiansand, Langesund, Larvik, and Sandefjord are two to three hours from your doorstep.

Whether you’re planning a winter ski holiday or a summer escape in nature, this mountain‑top retreat is the perfect base for an unforgettable stay in Vrådal.
