Kikutstua

Kikutstua is a mountain cabin at 600 meters elevation in the forested Nordmarka region north of Oslo. It accommodates 64 guests with meals served on site and offers showers, a drying room, and sauna facilities.

The cabin was designed by Norwegian architect Thorvald Astrup using traditional wooden construction methods. It represents the classical approach to mountain lodging that became standard in Norwegian building practices.

This cabin serves as a gathering place for people enjoying skiing in winter and hiking in summer across the Nordmarka forests. It keeps alive the Norwegian tradition of connecting outdoor activities with hospitality and community.

The location is well positioned for lake activities on Bjørnsjøen, where canoes are available for rent. It serves as a convenient base for hiking into the surrounding forests or accessing winter trails in the region.

The sauna room has large windows that open onto views of Bjørnsjøen lake, merging Nordic wellness with the surrounding landscape. This combination of traditional heat bathing and water views creates an experience few other cabins in the region offer.
