Velledalen

We’re now driving through Velledalen, an area known for its beautiful scenery and traditional wooden houses. Surrounded by wild waterfalls and majestic peaks, this valley attracts tourists and hikers heading into the Sunnmøre Alps. Velledalen is also the birthplace of entrepreneur Hjalmar Brunstad. He began making furniture in the basement of his childhood home. As demand grew, he moved production to new premises in Straumgjerde, and later to Sykkylven, where the factory still operates today. Named Brunstad, the company became known for its high quality and elegant design. It has grown into one of Norway’s leading furniture manufacturers, earning international recognition for its craftsmanship and innovation.
