About this spot
Skolla is located down in the river valley, but with a short path up to the treeless mountain. The versatility of the area and easy access make the cabin excellently suited for arrangements with many activities. LOCATION: Skolla is located in Åstdalen in Ringsaker municipality, right by Øvre Åstbru. The cabin is located by an all-year road from Brumunddal, while Birkebeinerveien from Sjusjøen to Østerdalen is closed in winter. EQUIPMENT: New from June 2026; The beds have duvets, pillows, and blankets, but everyone must use their own sleeping sheet or bedding (pillowcase, duvet cover, and sheet). Here there are 6 beds, kitchen equipment, and cooking facilities, access to an outdoor toilet and firewood. The room closest to the road in the “stable” is equipped as an unstaffed cabin and locked with DNT’s standard key. A solar panel system was installed in 2022. Inside, there are lights above the kitchen counter and table, and reading lights are installed by 4 of 6 beds. Mobile phone charging is also included. ACTIVITIES: Here there are opportunities for active outdoor life with mountain hikes, ski and winter tours (groomed ski trail approximately 500 meters away, check www.skisporet.no and Åstdalen turløyper), and the river Åsta flows right past with possibilities for fishing grayling and trout.
