"This is a plot of land we have saved on for a long time. We have been working on the development of Fageråsen since 1965 and only after 60 years will it be put up for sale," says Jens Søgaard, the driving force behind the development of Fageråsen.

Since the mid-60s, the Søgaard family has helped put Trysil on the national, and eventually international, map of recognized ski destinations. From a few scattered cabins in the 60s, Trysil is today a sought-after year-round destination for Nordic guests and cabin owners, but increasingly also for international guests from Germany, the Dutch and the UK.

"We are experiencing a significant increase in demand from these countries. Snow-sure winters and the fantastic scenery are most important, but a weak krone also contributes to many foreign buyers now turning their attention to Trysil, says general manager of Fageråsen Fritid og Alfa Eiendom, Pontus Åkesson.

For several years, they have been working on planning at the top of Fageråsen, but now the 28 mountain apartments are being put up for sale. The holiday homes in the Høyd project are not only located at the top of Fageråsen, they also have a fantastic view that stretches all the way to Sweden.
"This is our best project ever," says Åkesson.

It is the well-reputed cabin broker Petter Birkrem from Eiendomsmegler 1 SR, who will be responsible for the sale of the new holiday homes.

"There is no doubt that this is a unique project. Here you get both the best location, the best views and the best qualities. Altitude is a rare chance in Trysilfjellet. This is not just Trysil, but Norway at its best," says Birkrem.

However, he does not hide the fact that higher interest rates have contributed to a more demanding cottage market recently.

"Trysil is nevertheless always attractive, and we are now seeing a clear increase in activity in the market. Proximity to Oslo and easy access from abroad, but also signals of interest rate cuts, are some of the explanations. We now see that both the Norwegian, and not least the foreign buyers, are really waking up. We therefore believe that this is a project that will hit the market well and that both Norwegian and foreign buyers will take an interest," says Birkrem.
