Kongshelleren

Kongshelleren, located by Kongshellervatnet, was opened in 1980. From this high-altitude cabin, there are several peaks within walking distance. The terrain is at times hilly, but from the cabin there are long downhill slopes that make it easy to get to Geiterygghytta and Steinbergdalen. The trip from Iungsdalshytta, via Kongshelleren to Geiterygghytta, is wonderful and varied. Here you walk through green mountain pasture valleys and up into rocky and wild high mountain landscapes. Kongshelleren is easily accessible both on foot and on skis.

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 allocates a limited number of beds for booking. The remaining 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 with DNT Hyttebetaling Pay for food with your mobile. With the “DNT Hyttebetaling” app, you can easily pay for food and accommodation at the self-service cabins. The app is available for iOS and Android. The app also works in places without phone and network coverage. 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 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 allowed in common rooms, dining rooms, and bedrooms. There is a dog cage in the outbuilding/emergency shelter. Bring bedding for the dog if necessary; do not use the cabin’s bedding or blankets.
