Historic 1800s Log Cabin 3BR Home Base for Geirangerfjord, Slogen Hikes & Skiing
Welcome to Tronstadbu: Your Historic Norwegian Adventure Base.
Step into history at this authentic 1800s timber lodge, perfectly restored to blend rustic fjord-side charm with all the modern comforts your family needs. Tronstadbu is situated in a completely private and secluded valley setting, with a beautiful river running right outside your door (ideal for trout fishing!).
THE SPACE: History Meets Modern Comfort
This 3-bedroom cabin is thoughtfully designed as your private mountain retreat. The large living room features the original exposed timber walls from the late 1800s, a cozy wood-burning fireplace, and a full-size dining table—perfect for games and family meals.
The kitchen is separate and fully equipped (including a dishwasher and coffee maker), and the cabin offers a modern bathroom and laundry facilities. We sleep up to 6 guests comfortably:
* Bedroom 1 (Downstairs): Small double bed.
* Bedrooms 2 & 3 (Upstairs): Two bedrooms with single beds.
Linens, towels, basic toiletries, and firewood for the fireplace are included in your rental price.
THE LOCATION: Gateway to Geiranger and Sunnmøre Alps
Our secluded setting is just a short drive from world-famous attractions, making it the perfect hub for exploration in Fjord Norway:
* Fjord Access:** Only 10 minutes drive to Hellesylt, the starting point for the scenic ferry through the UNESCO-listed Geirangerfjord.
* Hiking Paradise:** Located with easy access to spectacular mountain hikes like Slogen, Saksa, Urkeegga, and Norangsdalen.
* Winter Sports: Close proximity to the famous ski touring region of the Sunnmøre Alps and great downhill skiing:
* Strandafjellet Ski Resort: 30 minutes drive
* Harevadet Ski Arena: 20 minutes drive
OTHER DETAILS & SERVICES
* Parking: Free, designated parking is available right next to the cabin.
* Getting Here: We are 2 hours from Ålesund Airport (Vigra - AES). We recommend a rental car, though pick-up at the airport may be possible if agreed in advance.
* Fjord Tours: Private sightseeing and fishing tours on our large fjord boat are available for booking at an extra cost (starting at 300€ + 50€/hr). Contact us for details and availability.
We look forward to sharing our piece of Norwegian history with you!

About the host
Hosted by Kim André Tronstad Fure
I always try to meet every guest for a tour and a chat. I love giving advice on what to do, and not to do, in the area. I've made so many new friends through hosting!
Why they chose this property
This area is where my mother's side of the family come from. The cabin itself is my great grandparents old farmhouse, built in the late 1800s. The cabin was dismantled, log for log back in the 1980's and moved a few hundred meeters of the farm. The area is perfect for hikes, both easy and advanced, and wherever you turn you can see mountains to conquer! If you come in the late autumn or winter, bring your skiis, so many oppertunities to have greate experiences, and for those of us that don't like to skii in the mountains, there is a prepped ski slope for cross country skiing 100 meters from the cabin.
What makes this property unique
Go in to the living room and feel the timber that my ancestors spent so much time over a 130 years ago bringing down from the woods and turning it in to a home. Sleep in a bed from the eara and walk the same steps as my great grandparents did. The stairs to the second floor are so worn down from generations walking up and down them - a reminder of all the stories and memories that has been created in this house.
