Vigdalstøl

Vigdalstøl was taken into use as a self-serviced cabin in 1961, and later Li-Hans’ barn was furnished as an emergency cabin. Vigdalstøl is a good starting point for several interesting tours. From here, for example, the 1757-meter-high Vongsen can be an attractive destination. From the summit, you can see the snow cap of Jostedalsbreen on one side and the Jotunheimen mountain range on the opposite side. About the cabin: Total number of sleeping places: 10. Number of beds available for booking: 4. Number of beds for drop-in: 6. The beds that can be pre-booked are numbered (see floor plans under Photos). Closed during certain periods of the year: From mid-October to February 15, read more about the reasons for cabin closures. Equipment: The cabin has all the equipment you need for cooking and a pleasant stay, such as full kitchenware, tableware, and bedding. In addition, you will find a good selection of food in the provisions room. There is no electricity at the cabin, but gas, wood heating, and candles as a light source. Water is fetched from the nearest stream/lake. Guests are responsible for cooking, fetching water, washing dishes, cleaning floors, and otherwise tidying the cabin inside and out. A sleeping sheet or your own bedding must always be used for overnight stays. Notices with cabin rules and prices can be found at the cabin. Recipe booklet based on the provisions pantry: In a new project, we at DNT have worked to develop a recipe booklet based on the provisions pantries at self-serviced cabins. Here you will find a number of tempting and surprising dishes you can make when you visit our self-serviced 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 makes a limited number of beds available for booking. The rest of the beds will be open for drop-in. Arrive at the cabin before 7 PM to secure the bed you have reserved; after 7 PM, the bed may be allocated to others, but your booking is still valid. Pay for food and accommodation in the DNT app: At self-serviced and unserviced 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 – only register provisions in the app. Remember to download the app before you go on your trip! The app also works without coverage. For best offline function, you should open the app before the trip. Read more at dnt.no: https://www.dnt.no/hyttebetaling. Works with bank and credit cards from other countries. Payment form: You can also pay by filling out a payment form that you will find at the cabin. Upon departure, place the completed payment form in the safe and take the copy with you. We will then send you an invoice, but please note that a fee of NOK 50,- will be incurred when using a payment form. 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-serviced cabins. Dog: Dogs are not allowed in living rooms, dining rooms, and bedrooms. There is a dog cage in the outbuilding/emergency cabin. Bring a mat for the dog if necessary; do not use the cabin’s bedding or blankets.
