Instead of speeding through the Korgfjell Tunnel on highway E6, take the scenic mountain route, when the road is open during the summer. At the top of the pass (555 m), Korgfjellet Fjellstue offers an amazing view of the Okstindan mountain range, a view that you can combine with a satisfying meal. Overnight guests can choose between a room in the lodge or one of the modern new cabins. There are also spots where you can park your camper or caravan for the night, with a power hookup and access to the service building.

During its winter season, the lodge offers transport up in its “Alpine Bus” – a powerful snow scooter that pulls a sled with lots of seats.

After a long day of hiking the mountains, you can soothe your stiff muscles in the sauna and hot tub. By the way, the lodge menu features hearty dishes made from old family recipes. Pizza and fresh-baked bread come piping hot from the wood-fired stone oven.
