History

Huset was built in the 1950s as a community center for miners in the village. [4] The name means "house" in Norwegian. It operated as a post office, library, church, school, gymnasium and hunting shop. It was briefly used as a hospital after an avalanche. [5] In 2010, the building was converted into a bistro. Hurtigruten bought the restaurant in 2022 and converted it into a fine dining establishment. [4] The company invited Spanish chef Alberto Lozano to run the restaurant. [6]
