Urdevatn at HardangerviddaFishing
Season:4. juli 2026 - 11. juli 2026
Argehovd

Description

Due to a cancellation, we have a vacant week at fantastic Urdevatn on Hardangervidda, featuring a legendary location at 1300 meters and great fishing. This is a cabin for fit hikers, as the cabin is a 4-hour walk from the taxi boat. Alternatively, helicopter transport can be arranged.

The price includes the cabin, rod fishing in several lakes, net fishing, parking, and a round-trip taxi boat across Møsvatn.

The trail to Urdevatn is marked with cairns and goes through gently undulating terrain. The cabin is also well-situated for hikes in the area, and there are other fishing lakes nearby suitable for trout fishing.

Hiking enthusiasts, fishing enthusiasts, or those who simply wish to experience the nature and tranquility of the mountains will thrive during a vacation week or two at Urdevatn.

About the terrain

Location: Not specified

The mountain farm Argehovd is beautifully situated at the outlet of the river Kvenna, in Vinje municipality in Telemark. The property is located without road access at the northwestern end of Møsvatn. The farm itself is situated at 970 meters above sea level, while the surrounding mountain terrain extends from 1,100 - 1,350 meters above sea level across the Hardangervidda plateau. Reindeer, grouse, and moose are hunted here. The river Kvenna flows past the farm and into Møsvatn, and 10 km of the river belongs to the property. Fishing licenses are sold from July 1st until August 31st each year. After this, we keep the river open until September 10th for private groups, as fishing for large trout is a highly sought-after activity.
