Skei Fjellkirke

The Ruud farm is a living mountain-farm with log- houses, dairy cattle and steep fields. There are horses and hens, herb gardens and flowerbeds on terraced plains. The original Cultural cottage consists of two continuous old houses with open fires. Here most of the food is prepared and served. In the old barn we have seating capacity for 80 guests. An old mountain farm barn is reconstructed into an open-heart house, and a great grandmother `s kitchen. All food is homemade, and the culinary experiences are seasoned with stories of traditional cookery. The adventure of the Cultural cottage at Ro started 10 years ago. To us the concept cultural based (founded) business activity has become a reality. Throughout these years our doors have been open to guests from far and near. Our culinary experiences have gradually given us lots of faithful guests and great experiences.
