Company info

We are Benjamin and Karin. Together with our 2 daughters Liv & Mia we took over Rondane Gjestegård in October 2019 and moved from Belgium to the Norwegian mountains. Our aim is to run Rondane River Lodge, the new name since 2020, with the same passion as Christoph and Cecilie (the previous owners) always did. Benjamin will focus on the accommodation and activities, while Karin will expand her kitchen skills. During our first year in Norway we want to experience the daily business of running a hotel, getting to know the locals and adapt to the Norwegian way of living. And most importantly: we have to learn the language which we started already in Belgium. Don’t expect too many changes in the short term but please let us know if you have ideas on how to make Rondane River Lodge an even more unique place in the world!

Property info

Rondane River Lodge is situated in beautiful Sollia at an altitude of 780m above sea level. The crystal clear Vulua river flows through our garden and our nearest neighbours are the Rondane and Dovrefjell National Parks. Located midway between Oslo and Trondheim, along one of Norway's 18 national scenic routes, this is a great place to stay for a relaxing holiday or an overnight stop. Rondane River Lodge is a charming little hotel with 10 rooms and 10 traditional log cabins. We serve our guests home-made food and help with the planning of activities like hiking, canoeing, biking and fishing. Perhaps a moose or musk ox safari sounds interesting? In winter we offer skiing, snowshoe hiking, ice fishing and dogsledding. We hope to see you soon! Benjamin, Karin, Liv and Mia.

Neighborhood info

Rondane National Park was established in 1962 as the first national park in Norway, mainly to protect the more than 2000 wild reindeer which have their home here. Rondane is a park of contrasts, from barren high alpine peaks to gentle slopes with cozy mountain farms and spectacular waterfalls. It is packed with excellent hiking trails for all adventurers. Around the edge of the park are many lighter hikes suitable for all ages and abilities. In the heart of the park, 10 peaks reach over 2000m above sea level, with gentle slopes that are a little easier to hike than those in for example Jotunheimen National Park. Rondane has a relatively mild climate, making it one of the safer areas for avoiding hiking in pouring rain. Low precipitation means less snow in the winter and the hiking season will often start in early June, which can be a month earlier than other Norwegian mountain areas. September is probably the most beautiful time of the year when you can enjoy the golden autumn colours. During winter time Rondane offers excellent conditions to practice snowshoe hiking, cross country, backcountry or tour skiing. We are keen on sharing our knowledge about the area with you!
