If you’re lucky, you will be greeted with love at the new hytte, which has become quite luxurious (now including things like hot showers, modern kitchens, floors, and a roof).  We spent 4 days and 3 nights in Tyinkrysset cooking, skiing, hiking, drinking, conversing, and reveling in a life well lived.

Brusebu is named after the sound the nearby creek makes.

We stocked up on Negroni fixings and wine in Oslo.  Then scooped Romey at the airport.  Her entry was smooth (unlike, say, mine).

 

 

Romey on her first skis (starting in Norway is the way to go).

 

NPS tried using randonee skis (usually used to climb up mountains and ski back down).  This is a technology to explore further.

 

Gourmet cheese sandwiches were available for those on the tour.

 

 

A quick trip to Øvre Årdal tested the snow tires and resulted in no purchases whatsoever.

 

 

 

The walk behind the cabin.

 

Over the bridge.

 

 

 

 

 

A visit to the Låve Museum (a locally curated collection of stuff from old fashioned Norwegian life).  The proprietor is a delight.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also see Art in the Corner for one of these farm implements.

 

 

 

Sharing pictures of construction (Romey buys a building).  The hytte has been basically reconstructed from scratch with a new roof (expanded roof line) and a new floor (including joists and subfloor).  Now it is a luxury hytte.

 

 

 

What a pleasure.  Can’t wait to return.
