Diple is located at Kollen in the heart of the Gausta area, with immediate access to the alpine ski resort and a direct connection to the new floodlit trail, Svartalsløypa. Kollen offers excellent sun conditions, and many of the properties have sightlines all the way from the mountain lodge atop Gaustatoppen down to the town of Rjukan, and further towards Hardangervidda. It's a short distance to Bygget (café and après-ski) and Sportellet, as well as Høyfjellshotellet and shops such as Pose & Sekk and Sport1.
From Gaustatoppen you have Norway's largest view, measured by area. Under ideal conditions, you can see across an area of 60,000 km², which corresponds to almost a sixth of mainland Norway's total area. Near the summit lies Gaustatoppen mountain lodge, popularly known as Gaustahytta. The lodge offers simple dining every day during the summer season, as well as some weekends in autumn. The summit is visited by around 80,000 people each year.
Inside Gaustatoppen lies Gaustabanen, a well-kept secret. Gaustabanen was built in the late 1950s and transports passengers 1,040 metres up to Gaustatoppen. Gaustabanen is open on weekends and holidays throughout the year. With Gaustabanen came the option to combine your trip - you can hike one way and take the funicular the other, or ride it both ways.
The plots at Kollen Diple are beautifully situated on a ridge with views towards Gaustatoppen.
On these scenic plots you have the opportunity to realise your cabin dream with some of Nordlyshytter and Telemarkhytter's most popular models - Nordlyshytter with Frøya, Polar and the Lofoten series, and Telemarkhytter with the models Rognli and Storeble. Each model is developed with a focus on quality, functionality and architecture that blends naturally into the Norwegian mountain and coastal landscape.
Whichever model you choose, you get a cabin built for Norwegian conditions, with room for both relaxation and activity, summer and winter alike.
