Vindølbu

Booking and payment for accommodation and provisions: It is now possible to book/reserve a bed at our cabins. Approximately half of the bed capacity at the cabin is allocated for this. Bed reservations can be made via each individual cabin on UT.no or on DNT hyttebestilling. Provisions are paid using the new DNT app. It is important to note that bed reservations are only valid until 7 PM on the day you have booked. If you wish to pay after your stay, use the new DNT app. This can be downloaded from Play or App Store. Before your trip, we recommend the checklist. Should difficulties arise with payment/using the payment app, you will find information on how to contact us at the cabin. Local trail report/board for Vindølbu: No reports. Location: Hermannhytta, Sætersetra, and Vindølbu connect Fjordruta with the trail network and cabins in Trollheimen.

Registration in guestbook/payment for stay: Upon arrival at the cabin, sign into the guestbook and settle up before departure. Feel free to use DNT’s payment app! With DNT Hyttebetaling on your mobile, cabin-to-cabin trips become even easier! The app also works in cabins without mobile coverage - you then enter your purchases offline at the cabin and pay via the app on your mobile when you get coverage. The DNT key: Some of our cabins are locked with a DNT key. We have several sales points for the key; see overview and information on our website (scroll down a bit) here. If you land by plane at Kvernberget, you can pay for the key in advance and receive a code for the key box we have there. Vindølbu is open, i.e., not locked with a DNT key. Provisions: At the cabin, you will always find a good selection of canned goods and accessories for dinner, and dry goods for breakfast and packed lunch. Biscuits and chocolate for coffee are also available in the assortment. About the cabin: The cabin is open all year round and is equipped with a gas hob and everything you need to prepare and serve food. Information about the cabin, provisions, and other practical details can be found in the cabin. WC next to the wood room/dog room. Reserve a bed at Vindølbu here: DNT hyttebestilling Electricity/mobile: The cabin has 12V electricity for lighting and charging possibilities. The cabin has mobile coverage. Regarding mobile charging, we sometimes experience some technical challenges. We therefore recommend a power bank as a backup. Beds/accommodation: There are 15 beds at the cabin. In KNT’s cabins, we use a sleeping sheet or personal bedding (pillowcase, duvet cover, and sheet). Sleeping bags are not allowed inside the cabins due to hygiene and bed bug issues. Dog: If you visit Vindølbu with a dog, the combined dog room/wood room should be used. The dog is not allowed inside the cabin - this is due to allergy considerations. We ask that this be respected. Water: Summer: water in the tap on the veranda. Winter: snow melting. Garbage/Waste: If possible, take garbage/waste back from your trip. Information on garbage/waste disposal can be found in the information binder at the cabin. Tent: Tenting is not facilitated. If you are sleeping in a tent, remember to pay for a day visit/tent, and that the tent should be placed a good distance from the cabin. For stays at the cabin after 6 PM, standard overnight rates apply. Fishing: Do you want to try your fishing rod when you are on a trip? Here you can read more about mountain fishing in Surnadal municipality and Trollheimen. This cabin has received support from the proceeds of Norsk Tipping’s gaming funds.
