Royal Mountain Chalet, Mountain residence in Nord-Fron, Norway.

The Royal Mountain Chalet includes multiple timber buildings arranged around two central yards with sod and slate roofing in Sikkilsdalen valley.

The Norwegian Royal Family obtained the chalet in 1924 when Swedish Crown Prince Gustaf Adolf presented it to Crown Prince Olav upon reaching adulthood.

Architect Hjalmar Welhaven incorporated traditional Norwegian construction methods with natural timber structures, tar-treated walls, and white-framed small-paned windows.

This mountain residence contains eight rooms and a covered veranda in the main building, with additional structures constructed over subsequent generations.

The chalet integrates Norwegian architectural elements with functional spaces, maintaining its original purpose as a private royal mountain retreat since 1900.
