FURU is nestled away on the side of a mountain overlooking hills and valleys. A traditional mountain farm with restored buildings in red and white provides a homely backdrop for this sanctuary. In the middle of the property, an iconic pine tree stands elevated on a hill. It is this special pine - in Norwegian Furu – which inspired the transformation of the farm to a space for reflection and respite.

An explorer at heart, Friederike has lived and worked in numerous countries, curiously learning about people, their cultures and relation to their surroundings. She came to Norway for its breathtaking nature and stayed because of the people who surprised her with openness, warmth, and care. Friederike became instantly enamored by the property’s wild flowers, mountain views, peacefulness, and restorative energy. For her FURU is more than just a place to stay; it's a way of life: a multitude of experiences. “I believe that in the quietude of these forests, inspired by art and design, we discover not only beauty but also a connection to our own essence—a reminder of what truly matters. I am thrilled to share this transformative place with our guests, where they can reconnect with nature and themselves.”

All seasons offer fantastic opportunities for outdoor adventures from hiking and mountain biking on the mountain plateau, canoeing on crystal clear lakes or rivers, riding in the mountains with Icelandic horses, hiking with huskies and kennel visits.
