Take the bus to the mountains - Receive a Grønt Kort Voucher
If you travel by bus to a DNT cabin participating in the Grønt Kort scheme, you will receive a NOK 150 voucher to use during your stay this summer.
The voucher is our way of thanking you for choosing a more environmentally friendly way to travel. The Grønt Kort voucher can be used to purchase food or non-alcoholic beverages at the cabin.
The scheme is a collaboration between DNT, bus operators and cabin hosts, and is our way of rewarding guests who choose a greener journey to the mountains.
Simply present your bus ticket when checking in at the participating cabin to receive your voucher. Please note that the Grønt Kort benefit is only available to overnight guests.
A green card is handed out to guests who take a bus to or from the cabins that are part of the scheme, also in cases where you have to walk a day's march to get to the cabin
A valid bus ticket must be presented on paper or in the app, either for the same day, for the day before, or for the day after if you are going home from the cabin by bus
You cannot get a Green Card at several cabins by presenting the same bus ticket several times
A maximum of one green card can be handed out per guest per cabin
The period for the Green Card is June, July and August. This is a summer campaign (Haukeliseter distributes Green Card to its guests all year round)
Only overnight guests will be issued a green card
The value is NOK 150, and the amount can be used for food and non-alcoholic drinks at the cabin
The background for the Green Card
The Green Card is an initiative from DNT, Nor-Way Bussekspress and Innlandstrafikk.
Around 75% of emissions related to outdoor recreation and tourism originate from transport. By more people travelling by public transport, emissions are cut considerably. The Green Card will help make it easier and more attractive to choose public transport for travel and outdoor experiences.
The Institute of Transport Economics (TØI) is also part of the team and will do insight work that takes a closer look at motivation to travel by public transport, and how facilitation and the incentive scheme affect behaviour over time. This will provide exciting insights that provide good transfer value for further development.
