Tips from the Community
Rondvassbu is the DNT cabin in the very heart of the Rondane National Park and is deservedly popular. Originally built in 1903, the facility has seen many renovations in its time and provides unrivalled access to Rondane’s major peaks and trails. If you plan to camp nearby, you can still pay for the use of the facilities and purchase food.

A good starting point for a tour in or through Rondane National Park. The bus from Otta runs several times a day in summer and is very inexpensive. The Rondvassbu Hut is about 6-7 kilometers away.

From the track, the panoramic view of the mountains that shape the relief of Rondane is striking. Further, to the southwest, you can observe the high peaks of Jotunheimen on a clear day.

A tumultuous torrent flows from the Fremre Illmannstjern to throw itself a little further down into the river which escapes from Lake Lonin. A small wooden bridge allows its crossing.

Lake Lonin is a lake into which the waters of the great Rondvatnet flow. From its shore caressed by a calm swell, the view of the falun-painted huts of Rondvassbu is picturesque.
