Ellingsgardssetra: Ørskogfjellet

Ellingsgardssetra is known in Møre og Romsdal for its identity as a seter, a traditional seasonal mountain farm. Seters were used during the summer grazing season, when livestock was moved from permanent valley farms to higher pastures. This small locality belongs to the mountainous inland character of western Norway, where rural routes and upland farms sit apart from the region’s coastal towns and fjords. Its name points to an older farming pattern that remains an important part of Norwegian cultural heritage.
