Local trail report/board for Gullsteinvollen: From approx. 27.05.26 there is an outdoor toilet at Gullsteinvollen, meaning the WC in the cabin is closed. The trail from the pass between Jurtind and Skarven down to Gullsteinvollen is unfortunately unsatisfactorily marked due to a disagreement with the landowner. There are also some wet, boggy sections on the trail down that can be challenging. Be careful! Gullsteinvollen is the second cabin on the Fjordruta when starting from Kristiansund airport. Most of the cabins and tours on the Fjordruta are easily accessible and child-friendly. Fjordruta also has SignaTur status. SignaTur is a collection of Norway’s finest long-distance hikes – carefully selected, quality-assured, and highly recommended by DNT. More information about Fjordruta and its SignaTur status on fjordruta.no. Location: The cabin is located on Tustna in Aure municipality. It is situated at the end of Gullsteinsdalen and offers a nice view to the west over the ocean and Smøla. Around the valley lie the mountains Skarven, Jørgenvågsalen / Jurtind and Knubben; these alpine peaks are great hiking destinations, and the route options from Gullsteinvollen are numerous. A weekend at Gullsteinvollen to explore this area is recommended! If you need suggestions for nice trips from Gullsteinvollen, you can find them here: Trips from Gullsteinvollen.

The dog must be in a crate when indoors, and only be indoors under supervision. It must not enter the main cabin or other rooms, this is due to allergy considerations. We ask that this be respected.
