Bjorli

0

Bjorli is a small mountain village with one of the country's most snow-safe ski resorts, and is a playground for everyone who loves snow and ski activities. Up on the mountainside to the left, you will soon see the ski lift, and surrounding the lift, there are many cabin villages. There are almost twice as many residents here in the winter season as at other times of the year. In summer, you can experience nature up close from a bicycle or on hikes deep into the mountains. Tourists found their way to Bjorli early on. In 1925-1927, a restaurant was built with space for 700 people, intended for cruise passengers from Åndalsnes. Here, they were served traditional Norwegian food. During "Operation Heavy Baggage" on the Rauma Line in 1940, the restaurant was unfortunately hit by a bomb and burned down. It was never rebuilt. In Bjorli, you can still see the foundation of the building that once stood there next to the station building. Inside the station building on the left side, there is a small exhibition with items from the Gold Transport operation in 1940.
