Voksenåsen was inaugurated in 1960 as Norway's national gift to Sweden – a token of gratitude for the humanitarian aid Norway received during World War II. The site was built as a cultural center and meeting place to strengthen ties between the two nations.
For over 60 years, Voksenåsen has served as a venue for important cultural, political, and academic gatherings. Here, prime ministers, authors, artists, and thinkers have found inspiration—surrounded by nature and with “Sweden’s best view” as a backdrop.
Create the perfect stay by combining accommodation with unique experiences. From winter activities to summer adventures – it all starts here.
Voksenåsen is a vibrant cultural arena with concerts, exhibitions, lectures, and cultural events throughout the year.
