Bjørnhollia is situated in the southern part of Rondane, surrounded by sheltered valleys and mountain terrain.
The traditional courtyard (tun) at Bjørnhollia is highly regarded and has been awarded an architectural preservation and design prize (byggeskikkpris) as one of the most aesthetically complete cabin sites in the Norwegian mountains.
Self-Service Quarters to Close Permanently After Easter 2026
To improve living conditions for the wild reindeer in Rondane, the Ministry of Climate and Environment has adopted a regional action plan. As part of this plan, the self-service quarters at Grimsdalshytta, Rondvassbu, and Bjørnhollia will permanently close after Easter 2026. This measure is implemented to protect the wild reindeer during highly vulnerable periods, including late autumn, midwinter, and the spring calving season.
SAGA is DNT's long-haul route from Lillehammer to Snøhetta. 220 km over Ringebufjellet, through Rondane and Dovrefjell. All on the Norwegian Trekking Association's marked trails, with accommodation in serviced and self-service cabins.
When you visit us, you are entering a vital habitat for wild reindeer. Wild reindeer in Norway are a threatened species, primarily because cabins, roads, and power plants have fragmented and encroached upon their natural habitats. As a visitor to these mountains, your presence can also have a negative impact on the animals.
