Ytste Skotet

Ytste Skotet about 1940. Photo: Magne FlemIn the steep hills of the fjord country on the western side of the Storfjord is the farm of Ytste Skotet. The farm is perched on a ledge high above the fjord, and has been inhabited since the Viking era.

Ytste Skotet is a complete, preserved historic farmyard and museum at Skotet on the Storfjord in Stordal municipality. The organisation Friends of the Storfjord owns the farm Ytste Skotet, which was donated to the organisation by the former owners. Friends of the Storfjord have restored the farm.

The foundation 'Ytste Skotet' is responsible for the daily operations on the farm, which now operates as a living museum. School classes and other groups can experience the traditional way of life on a self-sufficient farm. During their stay the groups take part in the everyday tasks on the farm, such as traditional cooking, woodcutting, weaving, harvesting and similar tasks.
