Around the tun the mountains open up. Water and wide open spaces, old seter paths, and light that shifts through the day – a landscape shaped as much by people as by weather. Here you step out the door and you’re there.

The walks start at the cabin. The seter road through the hamlets is the easiest – go as far as you like and turn when you like. The nearest summit walk rounds Finnefjorden and climbs Fullsennknatten on the far side: a round trip of eight to ten kilometres, where a path branches off the seter road along the way – allow half a day with breaks. For longer days, the common’s marked trails and open shelters lie ahead – wide terrain that is easy to move through.

The seter landscape
The hamlets along the road are not scenery. Traditional summer farming continues here – the cows are milked through the season, and several of the summer barns have recently been upgraded. The knowledge and traditions of seter farming were inscribed on UNESCO’s list of intangible cultural heritage in December 2024. At Søre Trøllåsen, one of the hamlets on the road in, stands one of Valdres’ seven bergflagg – Norwegian flags painted on rock, a phenomenon particular to this valley. The open landscape around Fullsenn is shaped by use: grazing animals have kept the hillsides open for generations.
