small ⭐⭐⭐ hotel. Overnight stays in huts or in the main house.. bookable with and without meals. The communal kitchens leave nothing to be desired: among other things, there are chest freezers and large refrigerators for your groceries. but the best thing is the location: direct view of the Gaustatoppen and the Kvitavatn Lake....spectacular

Formerly the first DNT hut ever! Back then built near the Rjukanfossen to allow fjell tourists to visit and to stay. In the meantime there is a large catered hut with good food (without overnight stay). Two small, rustic huts can be rented (33% discount for DNT members).

Beautiful, new DNT-Hytte, which is very modern and spacious (modern gas stove, numerous rooms / beds, 12V solar power for lighting / extractor, etc.). Himingsjå is located on a small hill near the mountain Himingen (1066 m altitude). Here and to the surrounding peaks (Slettefjellet, Jorønnatten, etc.) are worthwhile long day trips. The cabin can be opened with the standard DNT key.
