Skjåk is a dry farming valley beneath high mountains, where water from upland streams makes cultivation possible. The contrast between the green valley floor and extensive mountain terrain is fundamental to its character.
Bismo has more industry than the mountain setting alone suggests: sawmilling, filter production and insulation made from recycled glass. Skjåk combines local resources with specialised manufactured products.
