DNT Gjevilvasshytta

Highlight • Mountain Hut

One of the oldest cabins in Norway and also one of the most beautiful. The rooms are simply furnished.
Dinner is not to be missed. There (as in many other staffed cabins) are excellent Norwegian dishes.
The cabin's age comes at a price: leaving your cell phone unattended or charging it overnight is a fire hazard.

Path along the Gravbekken

Highlight • Trail

As soon as you reach the treeline, the view opens up over the plain, with the sunken stream winding through it and the surrounding mountain panorama—dominated by Blåhøa, standing at 1,610 metres (5,282 ft).

Kamtjørnin

Highlight • Lake

This is a beautiful lake nestled beneath the slopes of Blåhøa, the highest peak in the northeast of the Trollheimen range. There's a small cabin here, Kamtjønnkoia, which was built in the 1950s to support botanists studying the region's mountain flora.

There's around 500 metres (1,600 ft) of ascent from here up to Blåhøa's summit, which stands proud at 1,671 metres (5,482 ft). The hike is relatively straightforward in good weather.

Vassendsetra Cabins

Highlight • Mountain Hut

A traditional, unmanned cabin. A key from the Norwegian Tourist Board is required. The cabin consists of three buildings: the main cabin with provisions, a common room with a couch, dining area, fireplace, and gas stove, and three rooms with bunk beds. There's also another cabin with its own fireplace and a woodshed with a toilet. Water is available from the stream directly behind the cabin. It's an absolute perfect place for an overnight stay or to explore the area.
