About us:
Øivind And Mari-Ann is our names. We took over the Hotel December 2025. We left the busy city life to reconnect with nature and run a mountain hotel 950m above sea level in Jotunheimen. The family consist of øivind,Mari-Ann and our twin daughters Emma and Nora.
The remote location was exactly what we where dreaming of, learning about local history, rediscovering the fantastic History of the region and implementing it to the workawayers and guest thru our hospitality philosophy.
Our lives now is all about the hotel, our focus is our guest and the employees. Making a team work together and focus on the best customer service is rewarding. On such a small hotel as ours we are all depending on each other, so making a good team is our top priority.

Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten
Staying here means becoming part of a small, close-knit team in the heart of Jotunheimen — one of Norway's most iconic mountain landscapes. As "kunstnerhotellet" (the artists' hotel), we have a long tradition of welcoming creative and curious people, and our team itself is genuinely international, so you'll be working and living alongside staff from a range of countries and backgrounds, not just Norwegians.
You'll get a firsthand look at how a historic Norwegian mountain hotel actually runs day to day — from hospitality and guest service to kitchen and food & beverage operations, using local ingredients and traditional Norwegian cooking and preservation methods. Depending on your role, you may also pick up practical skills in areas like facilities, housekeeping standards, or event support.
Beyond the work itself, you'll be living in one of Norway's classic mountain regions, with access to hiking trails, dramatic scenery, and the rhythms of rural Norwegian life — a very different pace from city living. You'll gain insight into Norwegian work culture and everyday customs, practice your English (and pick up some Norwegian) in a friendly multicultural environment, and leave with a genuine understanding of what it's like to live and work in a remote mountain community.
Warm regards Øivind & Mari-Ann -
