Dagsturhytta and Trails in Grimsåsen

Dagsturhytta is located in Grimsåsen, east of Innbygda, the centre of Trysil. It is accessible to everyone via a 500-metre universally designed path from the car park by the floodlit trail on Grindbekkvegen. To get there from the centre, follow Bergevegen, Korsbergsvegen and Grindbekkvegen; after about 60 metres on Grindbekkvegen, you will reach the car park. The road ends there; the 500-metre path to the cabin starts at the car park.

Dagsturhytta also serves as a starting point for several hikes on a larger trail network, some of which pass through steeper terrain. Nearby, there is a shelter that can be used as a rest and barbecue area. You can choose between the path to the cabin and longer hikes, with the steeper terrain serving as a helpful guide when planning.

Cultural History in Trysil

Trysil Bygdetun is located in the centre of Trysil and is considered Norway’s oldest open-air museum. Its 21 buildings show how people in Trysil lived in the 18th and 19th centuries. A complete traditional seter farm is situated on the hillside behind the museum. The grounds also offer expansive views of Trysilfjellet. A visit therefore combines insights into ways of life in the past with views of the landscape.

Outside the summer season, group tours are available throughout the snow-free part of the year. They must be booked in advance and confirmed by the museum. If you are planning a group visit, arrange the booking with the museum before you arrive.

The Trysil historie og museumslag association also regularly holds history sessions on various topics at Gammelskula in the centre of Trysil, led by local historians. Another way to discover cultural history while out and about is the cultural walk in Innbygda. You can do it on your own or join a guided tour. The walk can start at Gammelbrua, where you will encounter Trysil-Knut with old skiing equipment from Trysil, including a Langski and an Andor.

Along Flomvollen by the Trysilelva, visitors can see the river, forest and mountain that together shape Trysil’s landscape. Bjønnsstugua is also located on the banks of the Trysilelva in the centre and is about two hundred years old. In summer, it has a café serving waffles, ice cream, coffee, juice and soft drinks; the offerings are seasonal. There is also a swimming spot near Bjønnsstugua. Nearby, you will also find the monument to the forest worker’s wife, which highlights the role of women in Trysil’s forestry history.

Activities and Local Offerings

Trysil-Knuten is an activity area in the centre of Trysil. It includes a barbecue and shelter area, hammock stands, sun-warmed rocks, a stone staircase and a swimming spot. The activity park also has an obstacle course with ten different stations. These amenities complement the walks and historic sites with opportunities to spend time outdoors.

Parken Bistro & Bar offers beer tastings with matching small dishes. A brewery tour with explanations of beer brewing and beer knowledge is available by prior booking. As food and drink offerings may change, check the latest details before visiting; the brewery tour must be booked in advance.
