History
Sjusjøen’s history starts in the 15th century where the first mountain pastures began to develop. Tourism became serious in the late 17th century where skilled milk maids constituted a basis for tourism by serving food which reflected the environment and offering a few beds for rental.
The traditional village in the mountains has gradually developed to a modern holiday resort, and today Sjusjøen is one of the most popular ski areas in Norway.
