Can/do you have to reserve a room at Finsehytta?
You can pre-reserve beds to be guaranteed a bed, but it is quite possible to come unannounced and be allocated what is available.
Rooms can be reserved on our website: https://hyttebestilling.dnt.no/hytte/10929. Please note that room categories marked "show availability" are unfortunately fully booked.
Booking for Finseblues, must be made by email (please see the links to the events for the correct email address). Then you have to book a place in advance).
Groups larger than 10 people must also book by email.
Can I book a room without full board?
All reservations are with full board. Full board includes a 3-course dinner, breakfast, 4 slices of lunch, thermos refills and shower. If you do not want full board, you can arrive at the cabin without a reservation, but then the room selection will be smaller.
What happens if the train is delayed and I don't make it to dinner?
We have two table settings (19:00 and 21:00). We do what we can to ensure that everyone gets dinner. If the train is more than two hours late and you are in danger of missing the last table setting, we ask you to contact us by phone so that we can find a solution together.

We only have 4 bed and 6 bed rooms available for accommodation with dogs, these are located in Brebua. We have dog cages that can be borrowed. The dogs should NOT be in the beds. It may happen that the rooms are filled with other guests if there are beds available.
Unfortunately, dogs are not allowed in rooms beyond this, or in common areas.
What happens if it's fully booked when I arrive?
Then we take out extra mattresses and arrange for improvised dormitories in the common areas.

At Finsehytta we have a large selection of board games and children's books available for the children. In addition, there are many great walks in the area around the cabin that are especially suitable for the youngest.

In winter, we offer slippers and butt boards for loan, and there are several nice toboggan runs around the cabin for fun and play.
