Practical information
About Sota Sæter
The Sota Sæter experience
At Sota Sæter DNT we provide our guests with a remarkable experience in one of Norway’s most beautiful regions.
These include guided big game hunting, white water rafting, canyoning, and hiking the beautiful mountain ranges which surround our lodge on both sides. The nearby towns, Skjåk and Lom, also have many famous restaurants and shops to explore as well.
While Sæter (meaning “summer dairy”) comes from our long history as a traditional dairy farm, we now operate solely as a vacation lodge which specializes in outdoor adventures. If dairy cows are what you hoped to see then you may still do so as our neighbors have a large host of friendly animals that can be seen from the road to greet you upon your arrival.
We don’t just cater to the professionals. All of our activities are family friendly and the difficulty level of any adventure can be adjusted for children too. There is something for everyone here at Sota Sæter.
Food
We work closely with the Ministry of Agriculture and Food to promote local cuisines and traditions at the lodge in order to provide you with a delicious taste of Norway at every meal.
You will also find a vast selection of local beers and wines to choose from in addition to the more popular brands.
