Become a cabin collector!
Have you visited more than 100 DNT cabins? If so, you are eligible for the prestigious gilded version of the classic DNT key!
Why settle for owning just one cabin when you can have access to over 600? As a DNT member, the entire country is your backyard. The DNT key, our most popular member benefit, gives you access to hundreds of self-service and no-service cabins. Once you reach the milestone of 100 unique cabin visits, we will award you with your very own gold-plated key.
We have cabins suitable for every type of hiker and every occasion. Whether you are planning a family getaway, a trip with friends, a romantic escape, or a solo trek, you will find the perfect spot on UT.no.
How to claim your DNT Gold Key
- Download the cabin checklist: Get the overview in Excel format here
- Log your visits: Enter the date of your visit (or just the year if it was a long time ago). Please note that you must have signed the physical guestbook (protocol) at the cabin during your stay.
- What counts? When a location consists of several buildings or facilities, it counts as one cabin visit. Please note that emergency shelters (gapahuk) do not count toward the total.
- Submit your list: Email your completed list to gullgjest@dnt.no when you have reached 100 cabins
- Receive your reward: Wait for your gilded version of the classic cabin key to arrive in the mail!
Pro Tip: If you create a profile on UT.no, you can "check in" digitally at the cabins you visit to keep a full overview. We also recommend saving your Excel sheet to a cloud service like Google Drive or iCloud so you can update it on the go.
It's never too late to become a cabin collector. Plan your next trip on UT.no now!
Have a good trip!
