Sollia

One resident, Jo Øvergaard, expresses the joys of having access to untouched, untamed nature.

Indeed, Sollia offers a wealth of natural treasures. Outdoor enthusiasts can explore a vast range of activities. From hunting wild reindeer, moose, roe deer, deer, hares, grouse to fishing in mountain lakes with nets or engaging in sports fishing in the rivers. There is a lot of trout, Arctic char and grayling, while the forests yield a bounty of berries and mushrooms.

In the winter months, while there are no ski resorts or bustling tourists, Sollia offers something else - endless opportunities for skiing. Jo Øvergaard likes the absence of grand ski resorts.

Sollia, situated in Østerdalen, has a daycare center, a local shop, and not one but three village houses for the community to gather in. The village is also home to various clubs and associations, fostering a tight-knit community spirit. Here, you can find a choir, a hunting club, and even a small band that adds a delightful touch to the festivities on May 17th. Also, Sollia church is a beautiful building from 1738.

“We do take pride in our village,” Jo remarks.

Moreover, Sollia extends a warm welcome to newcomers, embodying the idea that every individual has the potential to make a significant impact and contribute to the community's growth. In Sollia, each person makes a difference.
