About the employer:
In the heart of Telemark, in a postcard landscape with rolling cliffs, beautiful beaches and nationally romantic mountains, lies the historic Straand Hotel and looks out over Lake Nisser and the village of Vrådal. It is a short distance to Vrådal from both the south, east and west, and here you can swim, hike or climb the mountains, cycle, play golf, fish, go on a lock tour with the veteran boat M/S Fram or find your own bathing spot in the inland archipelago the summer. In winter, you can unwind in the alpine resort and ski slopes or relax in the hotel's wellness department. The hotel started as a shuttle station in 1864. Today it is owned and run by the fourth and fifth generations of Straand. The old timber walls in the hotel offer a nostalgic journey back in time, while Straand offers modern facilities and a well-equipped conference department. The hotel is an excellent starting point for discovering beautiful Telemark. A small piece of Norway in miniature.
The employer can be helpful in obtaining housing in the area.
