The full story about
Valdres Booking Service
With many years of experience in cabin rentals, we’ve seen the true value of a mountain getaway — it’s about more than just accommodation.
It’s an opportunity to unwind, create lasting memories, and spend quality time with family and friends in stunning natural surroundings.
Valdres Booking Service was founded with the desire to share this experience with more people. Our passion for mountains, peace, and genuine cabin coziness is the driving force behind the service we offer today.
With us, finding the perfect place to escape everyday life — and simply live in the moment — is made easy.
Vision
At Valdres Booking Service, we work to create great experiences — for both cabin owners and guests. We strive to be the link that ensures trust, safety, and quality at every step.
Our motivation comes from satisfied guests and positive feedback — that is what drives us. At the same time, we know that good collaboration with cabin owners is key to success.
With personal service, clear communication, and genuine commitment, we aim to make every mountain getaway comfortable, worry-free, and full of memorable moments.
The beginning of Valdres Booking Service
When Karoline was 25, she wanted a place where she could escape the everyday and find peace. While many her age had other plans, she chose to follow her dream of owning a cabin in the mountains. She settled on Raudalen in Valdres — and a year later, the cabin was finished.
Through an Instagram account, she shared photos and experiences from cabin life. It quickly gained attention, and soon friends, acquaintances, and strangers alike were asking if the cabin could be rented. What started as a personal dream began to grow into something much bigger.
Falling in love with the mountains and the lifestyle in Valdres, Karoline decided to leave the city and move permanently to the area in 2020. The joy of sharing the cabin and its surroundings with others eventually became the driving force behind the creation of Valdres Booking Service.
For two years, Karoline worked as general manager at Haugseter Fjellstue, where she was responsible for staff, purchasing, restaurant operations, reception, and booking. She led a team of eight employees and managed both cabins and apartments. The experience gained at the mountain lodge provided valuable insights into service, operations, and guest experiences — laying the foundation for starting her own business.
Today, Valdres Booking Service is the result of Karoline’s passion for the mountains, the people, and her desire to provide safe, simple, and memorable experiences for both guests and cabin owners.
Operations and Growth Today
Since its inception, Valdres Booking Service has experienced steady and positive growth.
As of autumn 2024, the team has expanded. In addition to Karoline, there are now two employees handling operations and administration, as well as several skilled and reliable cleaners who play a vital role in our service. Together, we ensure a professional, safe, and personal experience — for both cabin owners and guests.
We currently manage around 40 rental units in the Valdres area and continue to grow. This growth is the result of trust, clear communication, and a focus on quality at every level — and we are proud to manage so many beautiful mountain properties on behalf of our clients.
We are proud to help sustain the mountain communities through responsible cabin rentals. By working with local partners and staying closely connected
with both owners and guests, we aim to create lasting
value in Valdres — for both people and nature.
