'Landscape & Local Story'

 

The Stølsheimen Mountains 📍 form a wild and remote highland area in Vestland County, Norway, stretching between the Sognefjord to the north and the Voss region to the south. Known for their rolling plateaus, deep valleys, and countless lakes, the area is dotted with old summer farmsteads (støler), from which it takes its name. In winter, snow transforms the terrain into a vast, pristine expanse, popular with backcountry skiers and seasoned hikers seeking solitude.


'...Locals tell of how the støler were once the heart of summer life, when families would move livestock high into the mountains for grazing. In the evenings, distant valleys would echo with the sound of cowbells and kulokk, the traditional herding calls sung across the ridges. One story recalls a particularly harsh summer storm when several farming families sheltered together in a single cabin for three days, sharing food and songs until the skies cleared, a reminder of the deep bonds forged in these isolated landscapes...'
