Stordalsbu

Stordalsbu is located at the top of Stordalen with a good view over the large lakes in the area. The self-service cabin was built in 1972 and is well sheltered from western winds. Stordalsbu divides the marked route between Mogen and Kalhovd into two suitable day stages. For tours in the area, it is possible to choose both easier and more demanding excursions, if one does not wish to try their luck fishing. There are many good fishing opportunities in the area around Stordalsbu. Closed during some periods of the year: From mid-October to March 1st, read more about the reasons for closing the cabins. Completely closed (cannot be used) from August 20th to September 30th inclusive. About the cabin. Total sleeping places: 12. Number of beds available for booking: 6. Number of beds for drop-in: 6.

Booking a cabin trip at DNT cabins has never been easier. Via hyttebestilling.dnt.no you can easily see when the cabin is available, explore cabins on a map, and book a spot. DNT Oslo and Omegn allocates a limited number of beds for booking. The remaining beds will be open for drop-in. Arrive at the cabin before 7:00 PM to secure your reserved bed; after 7:00 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 unstaffed 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 your trip! The app also works without reception. For the 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 at 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 be charged for 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. Please note that it is no longer possible to pay with cash at self-service cabins. Dogs. Dogs are not allowed in common rooms, dining rooms, and bedrooms. There is a dog crate in the outbuilding/emergency cabin. Bring a mat for your dog if necessary; do not use the cabin’s bedding or blankets. Wild Reindeer. The cabin is located in one of Norway’s 24 wild reindeer areas. If you want to know more about wild reindeer’s use of the mountains and how you can show consideration for them, 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 particularly sensitive to disturbances in spring. Out of consideration for 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 annually from October 15th to March 1st, every winter. The cabins will be locked with a DNT key and are accessible in emergencies. Relevant maps.
