I really hope that all of that glass is double-glazed, because otherwise it will be absolutely freezing in there in winter - especially since it's apparently a ski cabin.

Well, since the cabin is located in Norway I am pretty sure that it is triple glass insulated windows. Heat loss through the window will therefore not be a major problem.

From living in Scandinavia and Finland for quite some time I would guess radiant floor heating all around via ground heat pump, triple glass windows and proper insulation. I can bet money there is a nice Sauna somewhere in that building.
The views must be lovely from that place.
