Discover Lemonsjøen

Right between Besseggen and Gudbrandsdalen, the rafting river Sjoa and Galdhøpiggen lies Lemonsjøen - the gateway to Jotunheimen. Here you can enjoy wild and beautiful nature through four adventurous seasons and explore real experiences.

Accomodation

Lemonsjøen offers accommodation for every taste. Here you'll find a mountain lodge and cabin hamlet, premium private cabins for rent and a husky lodge with self-catering apartments. If you hop in the car, you'll find both the fairytale idyll of Brimiland and a campsite a few minutes away - as well as a boutique hotel in lovely Vågåmo.

Your own cabin?

Or is hunting, fishing and summit hikes on your wish list after you've packed your lunch? Then the mountain life at Lemonsjøen will suit you like a glove. In Utsikten cabin area you will find ready-to-build plots and turnkey cabins.
