By Maria Sødal Vole

Berge Hytta offers a wide selection of ready-made cabins as well as architect-designed builds tailored to the customer’s specifications. With over a century of experience building homes and cabins in the diverse Norwegian climate, this is one of the country’s best cabin manufacturers.

In Norway, a cabin trip is so much more than just a getaway – it’s a mentality. Cabins from Berge Hytta are designed with long-standing cabin traditions in mind. “Norwegian cabin culture is deeply rooted in a love of nature and the desire for a break from everyday life,” says marketing manager Øyvind Bråtun. “It’s about finding peace in scenic surroundings, whether by the sea, in the mountains or in the forest.”

Berge Hytta is delivered by the well-respected home and cabin manufacturer Berge Sag – a family-run business dating back to 1888. “The solid reputation we’ve built over 100 years is a great advantage,” he says. “We’re proud of being known for the quality and reliability of our services and work hard to maintain our standing.”

Cabins from Berge Hytta combine traditional Norwegian construction methods with modern design and comfort, making them ideal for a relaxing break close to nature. “We benefit from vast experience in building different types of cabins, which has given us a thorough understanding of materials and construction techniques that work optimally in the Norwegian climate,” says Bråtun.

The models are well-adapted to the landscape in terms of style and functionality, with many featuring large window surfaces to let nature in. Practical solutions and facilities such as well-insulated walls and windows and efficient heating solutions make them comfortable to inhabit all year round.

In terms of design, the ready-to-move cabins benefit from a combination of modern aesthetics and traditional elements that provide a comfortable and authentic feeling. “Our ready-built cabins are designed to meet different needs and preferences – from compact, cosy cabins perfect for smaller families and couples to spacious models that can accommodate large families and guests,” says Bråtun.

The company has a meticulous approach to the process of building cabins designed and tailored to the customer’s individual needs and wishes. “Our architects work closely with the customer to create a unique cabin that reflects their style and fits perfectly in the surroundings,” he adds. “Our goal is to always exceed the customer’s expectations and deliver a cabin they will enjoy for many years to come.”
