Steinbua Emergency Shelter
Highlight • Mountain Hut
This rough and ready cabin is passed on the trail up to Rabothytta on the very edge of the Okstindbreen glacier. Unlike Rabothytta, which has many amenties, Steinbua is primarily used as an emergency shelter.

Rabothytta Cabin
Highlight • Mountain Hut
Situated at around 3900 feet (1,200 m), Rabothytta is perhaps Norway's finest DNT cabin. The views from the building are excellent, taking in the Okstindbreen glacier and the Okstindan, which contains Northern Norway's highest peak: Oksskolten, at 6,286 feet (1916 m). It's very busy during the summer months, so it's worth booking well in advance.
