Mevassetra – Where Summer-Farm Heritage Meets Modern Freedom

Quiet ridges and ancient trails – follow the summer-farm folk's footsteps to an oasis of tranquility where animals graze freely and traditional mountain culture lives on in harmonious simplicity

Here rests the dream of simple living – a summer-farm where time is measured by the animals’ rhythm and nature’s wisdom.

Mevassetra sits like a pearl high above the Trondheimfjord, accessible through a peaceful mountain hike that opens both heart and lungs. Combined with climbing at Munkstigen via ferrata, this becomes a complete mountain experience where adrenaline meets peace, and modern adventure unites with ancient summer-farm culture. Here where the air is thin and the view endless, meals are served made from the finest local ingredients – each bite a tribute to the mountain farmer’s knowledge and nature’s generosity. From Trondheim’s best viewpoint to the summer-farm’s quiet peace, you experience how past and future melt together in perfect harmony.

Life as it once was – sheep, cows and happy children run freely in the mountain’s embrace.

Until 1948, life pulsed around Lake Mevat with production of goat cheese, butter and cream sold to mountain holiday-makers. Today the summer-farm heritage lives on through charming sheep and lambs grazing freely, majestic cows wandering peacefully across the meadows, and playful rabbits and chickens bringing laughter to visitors. Take a stroll through the lush landscape, feed the animals if you get the chance, and feel how the old summer-farm peace settles over you. Here you learn that happiness doesn’t need to be complicated – just authentic, simple and in harmony with what has always been.
