Our story
Knut Brusletto
"When I was born, it quickly became clear to both my parents and grandparents that I was the one who would take over and run the farm. Luckily, I loved everything about the farm. The cows, the nature, the machinery, and all the work that had to be done. Even before I could walk, I sat on my grandfather's lap in the tractor, and I joined my grandmother to milk the cows in the barn. So I took over the farm in 1990, at just 16 years old, with the help of my grandparents, and I still run it. But I wanted more than just farming, and I saw that the area up at the mountain pasture had greater potential. The nature and the mountain, with the proximity to the hotel and all the activities available year-round.
So 20 years ago, I started the process of rezoning parts of the mountain pasture into recreational properties. But I didn't want to just sell off the plots without a plan. I wanted the area to be consistently beautiful and cohesive. I wanted to create something truly unique – a mountain village that would thrive year-round, with plenty to do and see – no matter the season. Since I build houses myself and will live here at Storefjellstølen, I am passionate about making the area as beautiful as possible, and ensuring that people enjoy it here as much as I do."
