Brokkestøylen – Norwegian Wilderness Experience

Nestled in the heart of Setesdal, one of Norway's most culturally rich valleys, Brokkestøylen is a restored mountain farm where Nordic heritage, sustainability and contemporary comfort come together. Surrounded by forests, rivers and mountains, it provides an inspiring setting for retreats, wellness escapes and intimate group gatherings.

Built on a holistic sustainability philosophy, the venue embraces regenerative farming, locally sourced ingredients, reclaimed materials and low-impact hospitality. Traditional log cabins and luxury riverside sleeping pods blend seamlessly into the landscape, while a wood-fired sauna, riverside tipi for breathwork and meditation, and inviting gathering spaces create the perfect environment to slow down, reconnect and experience authentic Norwegian nature.

Farm-to-Table Dining

Food is at the heart of the Brokkestøylen experience. Seasonal menus celebrate the flavours of Setesdal using organic produce from the venue's regenerative garden, locally sourced ingredients and wild herbs, berries and mushrooms foraged from the surrounding forests. Every meal reflects the venue's commitment to sustainability, seasonality and Nordic culinary traditions, with menus tailored to your group's dietary needs.
