You have ski trails right outside your door, mountain hikes that start at your doorstep, and a vibrant local community with mountain lodges, summer farms, and traditional local food. A place where winter truly feels like winter, and summer brings sunshine and stunning mountain surroundings. A place that gives you room to breathe — and space to live.

Lemonsjøen with Besseggen, Galdhøpiggen, Glittertind and Sjoa as your closest neighbors

Lemonsjøen is located in the heart of Norway’s mountain region – an area that still offers four distinct seasons and experiences for the whole family. Here, you’ll find genuine mountain nature, peace, and easy access to year-round activities, all while the area continues to develop positively.

In summer and autumn, Lemonsjøen is the perfect base for summit hikes in the surrounding area, as well as walking and cycling trips through varied mountain terrain. You can fish in mountain lakes and rivers, join horseback rides in the mountains – both short and long – and explore an extensive network of cycling trails. For a bit more adventure, Sjoa offers rafting, and canyoning with certified guides is an experience many remember for a long time. For families with children, the climbing park in Brimiland (about 11 km away) is always a favorite.

In winter, enjoy skiing right from your cabin – both cross-country and alpine – along with miles of well-groomed trails. And when spring arrives, you can extend the ski season with spring skiing on Valdresflya, often lasting into June. And if you continue your journey over the Sognefjellet Mountains, a stop at the legendary bakery in Lom is a natural part of the experience, known for its fluffy yeast-baked bread and good traditions.

With excellent local dining options and nature right on your doorstep, Lemonsjøen is the place for those who want to combine an active lifestyle with peace, quality time, and relaxation. Welcome to the mountains!

Lemonsjøen is easy to reach – and hard to leave

Here, you’ll find high mountains and peaceful surroundings, without the journey eating into your weekend. From the Oslo area, it’s about a 4-hour drive, and you can also travel easily by train to Otta Station (about 45 km away) – with connecting bus routes to Vågåmo and Lemonsjøen.
