Juvasshytta, Tourist cabin in Lom Municipality, Norway.
Juvasshytta is a mountain lodge in Lom Municipality situated at 1,841 meters elevation on a paved mountain road that climbs through the terrain. The facility provides overnight rooms and dining services at this altitude, where buildings and infrastructure are sparse.
The lodge was founded in 1884 when access to the high mountain was limited to those on foot or horseback. A paved road arrived in 1936, transforming how people could reach this remote location.
The lodge reflects how people in Norway have traditionally used mountain spaces for rest and nourishment. The restaurant serves regional food made from local sources, connecting visitors to the eating habits of the highlands.
The lodge operates from May through September when mountain weather is most stable and the access road remains passable. Buses run from the nearby town of Lom, though visitors should prepare for the winding mountain drive to reach the property.
About one kilometer away sits a summer ski centre operating on glacial snow, offering the unusual chance to ski during warm months. Many lodge guests overlook this hidden opportunity for snow sports when the rest of the region is snow-free.
