Finsehytta
Highlight • Mountain Hut
I spent two very comfortable nights here on a trip around Hardangerjøkulen, where I had to sit out the bad weather for a day.
The prices are typical for Norway but of course much cheaper than the two local hotels.

Tips from the Community
The DNT Fjällstation Krækkja is a full-board hostel during the season, where you can sleep and enjoy breakfast and dinner, as well as various other items during the day, such as cakes/waffles and soup. It's also a great place to take a break. Krækkja is the oldest cabin on the Hardangervidda plateau, having opened in 1879. The cabin is beautifully situated by Lake Storkrækkja with a view of Hallingskarvet. Families with children, retirees, cabin hikers, and day trippers all come here.

This accommodation is similar to the DNT full-board hostels, except that they are privately run and may be slightly cheaper than those offered by the DNT mountain stations. Here, too, full board (breakfast and dinner) is offered in addition to accommodation. A road leads to this accommodation, so there is also parking available for starting and ending tours. This accommodation is also accessible from the towns of Ustaoset and Geilo.

The cabin is an excellent starting point for various one-day and multi-day tours. The small town of Finse is located on the railway line from Oslo to Bergen, making arrival and departure relatively straightforward.

Large hostel with a great view, space for lots of hikers and tired cyclists. Make sure to reserve a place in advance - it's always very full in summer! About 550 meters from Finse train station. With shared rooms, drying room and good showers.

One of the largest DNT cabins that I know. And it has everything: from a double room to a dormitory, delicious food and even its own brewery in the basement. Not to forget the large "Tørkerom", the drying room for drying your wet clothes. I spent two very comfortable nights here on a trip around Hardangerjøkulen, where I had to sit out the bad weather for a day. The prices are typical for Norway but of course much cheaper than the two local hotels.
