Food service & accommodation cabins

IN THE MOUNTAINS IN WINTER

The serving and accommodation cabins in the mountain are good starting points and destinations for those who want to explore the nature around and in Geilo. In recent years, it has become very popular to cross the national park Hardangervidda, both lengthwise and crosswise, and go from cabin to cabin. Then it's good that there are many cabins with serving and accommodation options. With dozens of cabins, both serviced and unserviced, the mountain has become more accessible and comfortable. You can also easily visit nearby serving cabins for a short break and buy some good food and drink.

Below we have collected several of the cabins in connection with Geilo and the national parks that are worth a visit!
