Dovrefjell Lodge (previous name Furuhaugli Turisthytte) was originally a “seter,” which is a traditional Norwegian mountain dairy farm operating only in the summer months. The “seter” belonged to a farm in Dovre and every summer the animals was transported up to spend the summer in the mountains. The “seter” dates back to the 1930´s and already then the place had room for accommodation and dining. Located right next to the Pilgrim road and the Kings road Furuhauglie was a natural place to get some rest and a meal.

From the middle of 1970, it was no longer profitable to drive the cattle 30 km up the mountains every spring, and the “seter” was closed down. Camping, cabin rental and café for tourists then became the main use at Furuhaugli.

Since March 2020 the place has been owned and drifted by Lina and Jo Andre from Bergen. Despite of a rough start with 2 years in and out of lock down, they have managed to pursue their dream of making the the place their own. The former cafe is now a newly renovated gourmet restaurant and accompanied by private lounge that can seat op to 25 guests. Several of the cabins have been renovated to match the vibe of a traditional Norwegian mountain cabin, and the renewal is a continuous process with lots of exciting ideas for the future. In the beginning of 2023 the new name Dovrefjell Lodge was released as a result of renewing the place, especially the restaurant.
