jotunheimen mountain huts and lodges

The 2024 summer hiking season will be on its way soon. Here are the opening times of the mountain huts and lodges for this summer season.

The mountain cabins listed below are those visited when hiking the three Jotunheimen routes in my guidebook ‘Hiking in Norway - South’. Clicking through the image will take you to either the homepage of the hut/lodge, or to the relevant page on ut.no. The dates for the start and end of the summer season 2024 are displayed where available. Advance booking while no longer needed overall, might be necessary for some lodges and advisable for others, particularly if you are hiking in late July/early August in Jotunheimen. The list here includes the mountain huts of the Norwegian Trekking Association (DNT) as well as some privately run huts and lodges. In general as a member of the DNT you will get a discount when staying at these private huts. The huts are displayed in the order that they appear in the guidebook. Note that some huts operate as unserviced huts in low season, but might require the universal DNT key to open during those times. Best to check before you go.
