Right in the heart of Beitostølen lies the old Liasælet, a living reminder of traditional mountain farming culture. The cabin was originally built from pine trees felled at Beitostølen in the 18th century. The charming old mountain farmyard also includes a garden with a large collection of alpine and useful plants.
In 2002, Magnus Sandberg brought new life to the old cabin, though in a slightly different way than in the past. In 2010, his daughter Solveig Sandberg took over and has continued the good work ever since.
Since 2002, Liastølen has offered a rich summer program on weekends, with talks and lectures on local topics such as traditional mountain farming, folk costumes, and birdlife, as well as demonstrations of old handicraft techniques. Concerts featuring folk music and song are also part of the program.
Liastølen is open every Saturday from 12:00 to 15:00, from Midsummer (St. Hans) until the end of August. During opening hours, you can enjoy traditional Norwegian "lapper" (thick pancakes) with sour cream and jam, as well as juice and coffee.
Local books and postcards with motifs from the farm are also available for purchase.
