Michael Schumacher has sold his Norwegian mountain holiday home for £2million as he continues to recover from his horrific ski injuries.
The sale of the retreat, in Trysil, north of Oslo, comes after it was revealed last year that his family was planning to build a £10million 'hospital' room for the Formula One star at their home in Switzerland.
The 46-year-old had owned the 6,940 sq ft lodge since the 1990s and used it as a base for family skiing trips.

But the home, which features a spa, a cabin on nearby ski slopes and space for seven cars, has been sold to a foreign buyer for 22 million Norwegian kroner.
The Local reports Petter Birkrem from the PRIVATmegleren estate agent as telling the DN newspaper: 'It was his refuge from the media pursuit he has suffered throughout his life.
Mr Birkrem revealed that the buyer was not Norwegian adding: 'We had a viewing for this person and his family at the very start of winter. They got a real "wow" feeling when they came into the cabin.'
The Local reports that earlier plans to sell the house were put on hold because of the seven-time World Champion's devastating accident.
Mr Birkrem's firm is understood to have avoided using pictures of the home's interior while advertising the property.
Prospective buyers were said to have been asked to leave cameras and mobile phones outside before viewing the building.
