What we want to offer
Our mission
To create a relaxed, thoughtful experience for guests and property owners alike. We want our work to feel personal, knowledgeable and caring, from first contact to the journey home.
About us
Two friends. One dream.
A mountain paradise.
We are Fredrik and Simon. Two old friends with a shared passion for hospitality and mountain life.
Our story
From ski seasons in Austria to Trysil
Vacation Trysil was founded by Fredrik and Simon, two old friends whose journey began on the snowy slopes of Bad Gastein in Austria. We met in winter 1997/98 while working and spending a ski season at the iconic Salzburger Hof. That winter marked the start of a long friendship and a shared interest in hospitality and adventure.
Over the years we built careers in Scandinavia's restaurant scene, crossing paths and following in each other's footsteps. Eventually life took us in different directions. Fredrik moved to Spain and started a property management company, while Simon headed to the French Riviera and on to Tokyo in Japan.
In 2007 Simon settled in Trysil, and Fredrik soon began visiting. From the very first trip, we both saw the potential of this mountain town. It sparked the idea for Vacation Trysil, which we founded in 2024 on friendship, experience and a love of mountain life.
Simon has continued to shape hospitality in Trysil through businesses such as Hotel Trysil, Taste Mat & Vinhus and Golf Restaurant Bistro 19. His commitment to quality and atmosphere is part of the care we want to give every guest.
What we believe in
Our vision
Great stays begin with personal contact. We want to offer more than a place to sleep. Whether you come for snowy winters or bright summer days, we want you to feel warmly welcomed and leave with memories to take home.
