Grimsdalshytta is situated between Rondane and Dovrefjell-Sunndalsfjella national parks, in the Grimsdalen valley. The cabin is centrally located and serves as a practical base for both hiking and cycling in the summer, as well as snowshoeing and ski touring in the winter.
Show Consideration for the Wild Reindeer
When you visit Grimsdalshytta, 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.

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.
