Staffed DNT lodge Fannaråkhytta (Vinterstengt) (2068 AMSL)

Show map

Located on the peak of Fannaråken at an elevation of 2068 m, Fannaråkhytta is Norway's highest tourist lodge. Few peaks can compete with the view from Fannaråken, which includes the Hurrungane string of peaks and the Smørstab and Jostedal glaciers. Sunrise with Jotunheim peaks around the points of the compass is an unforgettable scene, an outdoor experience for life.

You can hike to Fanaråkhytta from Skogadalsbøen (5 hours), Sognefjellhytta, Krossbu or Turtagrø (6 hours). From Krossbu or Sognefjellshytta, you can join a guided roped party that leaves the edge of the glacier at 13:00 every day and goes over the glacier up to the lodge. Allow about three hours to the edge of the glacier and about two hours over it. Book a place in the roped party at the lodge where you stay the previous night or by telephone to the Fannaråkhytta warden.
