Hasla

Setesdal Valley is the cradle of Norwegian folk heritage. Silversmithing here dates back to the mid-1800s, and some local workshops are still going strong — blending centuries-old filigree with contemporary design rooted in Viking-age aesthetics.

Whether you're here for hiking dramatic via ferratas, rafting down the Otra river, skiing, fishing, or checking out the one-of-a-kind Hovden Badeland (yes, an aqua park on a ski slope!) — don’t miss two unique jewellery studios tucked away in the neighbouring villages of Valle and Rysstad.

In Valle, you can’t miss Hasla: a sturdy log house that looks more like a roadside inn than a jewellery studio. But inside, they've been handcrafting silver since 1982 — merging national costume traditions with bold, nature-inspired design.

At Hasla, you'll find both traditional "bunad" brooches and buckles, and modern jewellery that echoes those timeless forms. If you're looking for a piece that carries the spirit of Norway — this is your place.
