In the winter season, Sjusjøen Hytteutleie is responsible for ordering snow plowing and shoveling at the entrance.

During the stay itself, the tenant is responsible for shoveling snow from the entrance area, and/or where the plow does not come around the rented cabin/apartment. Snow-free terraces/verandas are not standard in the winter season. If this is desired, it must be ordered by the tenant at an additional cost for carrying out the work.
The tenant is himself responsible for having the vehicle prepared for the driving conditions that may be present during the stay .
