Skogadalsbøen, Tourist cabin in Luster Municipality, Norway

Located at 834 meters above sea level in the Utladalen valley, Skogadalsbøen cabin provides accommodations within the western part of Jotunheimen national park.

The Norwegian Trekking Association constructed their eighth cabin at Skogadalsbøen in 1888, initially offering 12 beds for mountaineers and tourists exploring the region.

The cabin represents the Norwegian tradition of mountain lodging, managed by DNT to facilitate access to wilderness areas for outdoor recreation enthusiasts.

The facility has expanded its capacity to 109 beds and operates as a self-service accommodation, serving as a base for hikers accessing multiple trails in Jotunheimen.

The location originated as summer mountain farms before transforming into a crucial overnight stop for people traversing the extensive network of hiking paths.
