Your Hosts
Your hosts are Merete Fossum and Krister Hoel, who also run Grindal Salmon Lodge. Merete is passionately committed to the local community and is the heir to the neighboring farm. Krister is an avid salmon fisherman and is deeply dedicated to preserving the wild salmon that migrate up the Orkla River each year. Both are eager to show the world what Grindal has to offer, from food and nature to its people.
