Located in the heart of the spectacular Romsdalfjella mountains, Måsvassbu is an exciting place to stay the night. It's a self-service cabin that's unlocked during the peak summer season and locked during the winter – you'll need to acquire the DNT key during this time. The immense Klauva massif rises to the south-east, home to Kyrkjetaket, one of Norway's finest alpine mountains. Kyrkjetaket's Østeggen (east ridge) in particular is an absolutely stunning line but requires serious scrambling skills in summer and mountaineering nous in winter.

Just before (or after) the dam is this hut, where you can also spend the night. It is the only good supply station up here. However, the café only opens from 12 noon and is closed on Mondays. This is something to keep in mind. There is an outside water tap for filling up water bottles. The toilets are only accessible with a code (as is the overnight accommodation) or during opening hours.

Great, 1192 doesn't sound spectacular, but it has it all. But it's worth the effort, mega 😎 view, the hut is awesome, you can even spend the night here, a fireplace and an oven will definitely make it cozy, but who's going to carry the wood 🥴☝️

Blåfjellet is a peak with a spectacular 360° view near Meisalfjell, from where you can easily reach it. The summit can be reached from the parking lot in just under 1.5 to 2 hours. At the top, next to the view, there is an unmanaged hut (Blånebu), where you can also spend the night. The way there requires fitness and sure-footedness, especially towards the end, but is also suitable for people of average fitness. It is marked with a blue marker, which can sometimes be lost from sight in the last part. You should make sure you wear waterproof shoes or don't worry about wet socks, because the fell is streaked with damp sections. Bring plenty to drink in the sun in the summer.

Small mountain hut with wood stove. Originally built for construction workers building the dam. The main access road was completely covered in snow still at this time of year (Early June) so with no one around and everything closed it provided shelter after a long hike a bike through the snow.

Popular gapahuk, beautifully located on Hetjevatnet, including grill and saws. Unfortunately a bit too small to stay overnight.
