Fagerdalen støl

Fagerdalen Støl is as old as the hills, and they have been making cheese in the same way since 1702. They lease the cows from Gurostølen and make the cheese themselves. Fagerdalen is open all summer, and offers, among other things, støl buffets.

Kalvefløto

This is a støl located above the tree line, by the Stolsvatnet Lake. It is surrounded by the majestic Hallingskarvet, Reineskarvet, and western mountains. Ole Øvrejorde's goat herd enjoys the long summer evenings and gives melk of the best quality.

Geitevasstølen

The Rueslåttens travel to the mountains with all of their cows during the summer. It is a good tradition that provides tranquility for the milkmaid, farmer and the livestock. The cows usually find their favorite spots to graze as the summer mountain landscapes become increasingly lusher with fresh, running water, rich flora, and beautiful views. The mountain milk is of a very high quality—or støl milk, if you prefer that name. Jarle and Rakel take the milk home from the støl to make their cheeses with the summer milk.

Gurostølen

Gurostølen is located in Hol municipality, right in the middle, between Oslo and Bergen, along county road 50. At 950 meters elevation, at the foot of Hallingskarvet. The summer mountain dairy farm (stølen) has 400 years of history, which started when Guro, in the 1600s, moved the animals here, to enjoy the wonderful mountain pastures. At that time, it was a requirement for survival as farmer in the mountain villages. In generations, tradition has been made here. A tradition we wish to pass on through the goods we offer today. The milk from mountain pastures has different qualities than normal milk, flavored by the pastures diverse flora which gives rich fatty acids and antioxidants.

They also deliver cows’ milk to Jakobsplass when they need cows’ milk to produce their soft cheese spread (prim).

Havsdalstøl

The Hamarsbøen farm in Kvisla keeps many traditions alive. One of the really good traditions is to move the livestock in the early summer the old-fashioned way. That means that the whole family takes all of their cows and makes the nice journey by foot. At the støl in Havsdalen, there is a small støl shop that is open during the summer.
