The Snøhetta massif, with its highest peak at 2,286 meters above sea level, dominates the Dovrefjell mountain plateau in the transition between southern and central Norway. The area features a well-established network of marked trails and 10 DNT cabins, offering options ranging from shorter day hikes to longer, demanding cabin-to-cabin treks.

But the wild reindeer are vulnerable to disturbances and need peace. It is therefore important that we pay attention when we are on a trip.

The majority of DNT's cabins are either self-service (stocked with provisions) or unserviced (no provisions). Here is what you need to know before visiting a cabin without staff, and how the cabin system works.
