Approximately 35,000 decares of continuous hunting terrain. Comfortable cabin and great fishing opportunities!
Hunting season starts September 15
A hunting area of about 35,000 decares, which also offers good inland fishing, is available with Urvoldhytta as the main base and an additional cabin within the terrain. The area is varied and has a distinctive natural character. The cabin stands on the old foundations of the former Urvold farm. There is no longer any permanent settlement in the area, and no other cabins within the hunting grounds besides these two. There is a private forest road all the way to Urvoldhytta, and the fishing in the area is excellent. There is a power line in the area, but aside from that, the nature is untouched. The price includes hunting for up to 4 hunters with two dogs, or 6 hunters without dogs. The hunting is exclusive.
The hunting terrain ranges from 100 to 1000 meters above sea level. Urvoldhytta is located at about 100 meters. There is a private forest road leading all the way to the cabin, which is 27 km from Terråk and the nearest COOP store, 154 km from Namsos Airport, and 140 km from Brønnøysund Airport.
The offer is weekly. Normally, only two weeks of hunting are rented out per year. The price applies for up to 4 hunters with 2 dogs. Urvoldhytta is of high standard and has 4–6 beds. You can drive right up to the cabin door. In addition, there is another small and simple cabin, Reppahytta, which can be used freely by prior arrangement. It is located in the inner part of the terrain, at about 170 meters above sea level, and is a good starting point for forest grouse and ptarmigan hunting in the northern part of the area.
The willow ptarmigan population has been decent in recent years, but nowhere near what it was 20 years ago. The hunting area has a total of about 11,000 decares of ptarmigan terrain. Parts of the terrain are easily accessible and well suited for hunting with dogs. Other parts are more rugged with steeper access. With access to the Glømmen area, the ptarmigan habitat expands considerably, but the birds’ location varies from year to year.
There are mainly two ascents into the hunting area, and it is important not to overhunt the nearby sections. To make use of the inner areas, we recommend an overnight stay at Reppahytta. The terrain is suitable for 2–3 dogs.
In addition, there are about 7,000 decares of mixed terrain for forest grouse and ptarmigan. The population has been decent in recent years. It varies somewhat from year to year, but the area is considered, together with Kalbekkvika, to be one of our better forest grouse areas. The forest terrain is relatively rugged and challenging to walk, but generally has a good black grouse population.
Some hare are also taken in the area. If you encounter hare, fox, marten, raven, or crow, hunting these is also permitted. It is possible to arrange a roe deer harvest permit during the hunt; the animals are generally large with fine antlers. There are good fishing lakes in the area.

One of the fascinating things about Bindal is how diverse the landscape is. Just a few kilometers from the lush, open scenery of Åbygda—and equally close to Tosenfjorden—you find yourself in Urvold. Here you enter an entirely different world, and it’s hard to imagine how people once managed to make a living in such a small and remote place. The mountains rise almost menacingly around you on all sides, and it takes a moment to understand where the river has found its way out again. Grand, varied, and beautiful—this is a perfect starting point for mountain hikes and exciting hunting and fishing for those who enjoy surroundings that are not manicured or without challenges. The farm was abandoned long ago, and the old house was in too poor a condition to restore. Instead, a modern cabin was built on the old foundations.
In earlier times, only footpaths connected Urvold with the outside world. Now you can drive all the way in on a forest road that ends just past the cabin. It is several kilometers to the nearest neighbor.
The Urvold watercourse is about 14 km long, starting between the Glømmen and Granbostad mountains in Bindal and ending in Tosenfjorden. The lowest 3 km are salmon-bearing, with a rich population of sea trout and a good number of small salmon. This is also one of the southernmost watercourses in the country with a strong population of Arctic char.
The salmon-bearing section consists of the Urvold River, which flows into Urvoldvatnet, Urvoldvatnet itself (about 2 km long), and the 300-meter river that flows out into Tosenfjorden at Ureidet.
The Urvold River runs right past the cabin and carries salmon up to about 500 meters above it. The upper stretch of the river is swift, but offers some excellent spots for fly fishing. After about 500 meters, the river calms, forming a long pool of about 200 meters with very clear water. During the October spawning season, we have recorded nearly 1,000 spawning fish in this section. After that, the river becomes swifter again before flowing into Urvoldvatnet.
Main cabin about 45 m2 with a living room/kitchen/dining section and a lounge suite, 2 bedrooms, a shed with a sauna, outhouse and shower, one shed for wood and for hanging up slaughter. Totally sleeping accommodation for 7 persons, 2 beds in each bedroom and 3 on the loft. Boat-house by Urvoldvatnet with benches. Small cabin for 2 person by Reppenvatn.
