The Prince's Cabin is one of the royal family's private mountain properties, located in Sikkilsdalen at the foot of Jotunheimen. The cabin has been owned by the royal family since the early 1900s and is named after being used by the royal princes.
Sikkilsdalen is known for its rich wildlife and excellent hunting grounds. The Prince's Cabin has traditionally been used during Easter holidays and autumn hunting season. The area offers good opportunities for mountain hiking, fishing and big game hunting.
The cabin represents the Norwegian outdoor tradition that is so important to the royal family. King Olav V was an avid hunter and used the Prince's Cabin regularly. The tradition has been continued by King Harald and the rest of the royal family.
The property is private and not open to the public. It represents the royal family's connection to the Norwegian mountains and the outdoor traditions that are so important in Norwegian culture.
