Rauland Hyttevelforening is not only the largest cabin association in Vinje, it also has a long and rich tradition in that it was established as early as 1983.
Rauland hyttevelforening was founded in 1983 and is with its over 800 members, the largest cottage association in Telemark. Our field of activity extends from Raulandsfjell in the west to Bossnuten in the east. The board of the cottage association consists of six permanent members. The board is elected at the annual meeting for two years at a time.
Great development
A lot is happening in Rauland. There has been a formidable development in the area and Rauland appears today as one of the most densely populated cottage areas in Telemark. The pace of development is still high and the number of activities is increasing. The challenges are therefore constantly to find the difficult balance between development and conservation. New development plans, safer ski slopes, securing "sluices" out into the open areas, renovation services, electricity prices and cabin owners' rights are just a few key words in this context.
Our tasks
Rauland hyttevelforening's main task is to look after the interests of its members. We do this best by keeping a watchful eye on the central players in the area. Good communication with bodies such as Vinje municipality, Rauland Kraftforysningslag, landowners and developers in Rauland is therefore a prerequisite for the cottage welfare association to do a sufficiently good job. This collaboration gives us opportunities to keep up to date with what is happening in the area and also the opportunity to help influence development.
Social activities
Another important task for Rauland hyttevelforening is to create well-being for members through social activities. The annual Easter ski run for children has the longest tradition Vierli which is organized immediately after the annual meeting on Good Friday. In addition, have Hyttevelforeningan established tradition is the so-called Autumn meeting, preferably in connection with the school's autumn holidays, where we combine important information with social community and local cultural features.
