Kongsvold received the official status of mountain lodge in 1670. Major historically correct renovations have been carried out through good co-operation between The Directory of Cultural heritage and local craftsmen. The hotel is the proud possessor of the Olav’s Rose, the hallmark of the foundation Norwegian Heritage.

The many fine buildings testify to prosperity at Kongsvold in the past, which is also reflected in the rich fittings and furnishings accumulated over the years and still to be found in the buildings.

Today, Kongsvold is a mountain lodge rooted in tradition with modern comforts and facilities. The hotel is open from February to November. There is also a cosy café on the premisses which is open during Easter and in the summer.
