About the employer:
Right in the heart of Telemark, in a postcard landscape with rolling rocks, beautiful beaches and national romantic mountains, the historic Straand Hotel looks out over Lake Nisser and the village of Vrådal. It is a short distance to Vrådal from both south, east and west, and here you can swim, hike or climb in the mountains, cycle, play golf, fish, go on a lock trip with the veteran boat M/S Fram or find your own swimming spot in the inland archipelago in the summer. In winter, you can enjoy the ski resort and ski slopes or relax in the hotel’s wellness area. The hotel started as a coach station in 1864. Today, it is owned and operated 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 little piece of Norway in miniature.
The employer can help you find housing in the area.
