A-Frame Cabins on Stilts Let You Cozy Up in the Trees of a Finnish Forest

Designed by Norwegian architect and professor Espen Surnevik, the PAN Cabins in Gjesåsen at Åsnes in the district of Hedmark, Norway give modern travelers the experience of living up in the treetops of Finnskogen (Finnish forests). With expansive views in every direction, visitors will get the experience of camping but with the comfortable amenities of a hotel.

There are three A-frame cabins on site, all set on slender steel structures eight meters off from the forest floor and are 40 square meters in size. Both cabins also include six beds, a bathroom, kitchen, and living room with a fireplace. Electricity and floor heating will keep you warm as you take in the sights. PAN 1 and PAN 3 will give you birds eye views of the forest and the nature reserve of Lake Gjesåssjøen while PAN 2 shows off more of the Finnskogen forest.
