Tyssevassbu

Tyssevassbu is located in western Hardangervidda by Hardingslepa between Øvre Tyssevatn and Holmevatn. The cabin was donated to DNT Oslo og Omegn in 1975 by A/S Tyssefaldene and several other companies involved in the development of Tysso. Tyssevassbu has electricity installed, and is one of the few self-service cabins with electricity. Tyssevassbu is located in an exciting and wild landscape which makes the hike to the cabin a great experience. A room in the main cabin is locked for use by employees of A/S Tyssefaldene. Closed during certain periods of the year: When wild reindeer calve, from after Easter until mid-June. From mid-October to March 1st; read more about the reason for cabin closures.

Recipe booklet based on the provision store: In a new project, we at DNT have worked on developing a recipe booklet based on the provision stores at self-service cabins. Here you will find a number of refreshing and surprising dishes you can make when you visit our self-service cabins. Take a look at our recipe booklet. Payment: Prices for accommodation and provisions. Please note that the prices at the cabin follow the price list of DNT Oslo og Omegn. Other DNT member associations may have different prices. Go to price list. Pre-booking via hyttebestilling.dnt: It has never been easier to book a cabin trip at DNT cabins. Via hyttebestilling.dnt.no you can easily see when the cabin is available, explore cabins on a map, and book a spot. DNT Oslo og Omegn releases a limited number of beds for booking. The remaining beds will be open for drop-in. Show up at the cabin before 7 PM to secure your reserved bed; after 7 PM the bed may be assigned to others, but your booking is still valid. Pay for food and accommodation in the DNT app: At self-service and unattended DNT cabins, you can easily register and pay for accommodation and provisions in the DNT app. Have you pre-booked? Then the accommodation itself is already paid for – only register provisions in the app. Remember to download the app before you go hiking! The app also works without coverage. For best offline functionality, you should open the app before your trip. Read more at dnt.no: https://www.dnt.no/hyttebetaling. Works with bank and credit cards from other countries. Payment slip: You can also pay by filling out a payment slip that you will find in the cabin. Upon departure, place the completed payment slip in the safe and take your copy. We will then send you an invoice, but please note that a fee of NOK 50,- will apply when using a payment slip. Remember to fill in the correct price for accommodation based on age and member/non-member status and all food you have taken. For your information, it is no longer possible to pay with cash at self-service cabins. Dog: Dogs are not permitted in common rooms, dining rooms, and bedrooms. There is a dog crate in the outbuilding. Bring a mat for the dog if necessary; do not use the cabin’s bed linen or blankets.

If you want to know more about the wild reindeer’s use of the mountains and how you can show consideration for the wild reindeer, you can read about it at dnt.no/villrein. Here you can also read about how DNT works with wild reindeer and travel. Wild reindeer are a vulnerable species and are extra sensitive to disturbances in spring. Out of consideration for the wild reindeer, DNT will close its cabins on Hardangervidda during the calving period. This applies to the area south of Rv 7 and north of E 134. In addition, the cabins will be closed from October 15th to March 1st, every winter. The cabins will be locked with a DNT key, and are available in case of emergency.
