Gjevilvasshytta, Tourist cabin and heritage site in Oppdal, Norway.
Gjevilvasshytta sits at 710 meters elevation in the Trollheimen region and opens access to mountain trails and peaks including Blåhø and Gjevilvasskamban. The cabin holds 64 beds split between staffed sections with running water and unstaffed areas that require a DNT membership key.
The cabin contains structural elements dating to 1739, making it the oldest continuously operating tourist accommodation in Norway. This continuity shows how long the building has served hikers and demonstrates its importance in the history of Norwegian mountain tourism.
The cabin serves traditional Norwegian mountain food, including locally cured meat and sour cream porridge, prepared in its dining areas.
The cabin offers different levels of amenities across its spaces, from comfortable staffed sections to simpler self-service areas. Visitors should confirm in advance which areas are open and what services are available for their stay.
The cabin earned recognition in 2020 as Norway's finest DNT facility and serves as the starting point for the three-day Triangle trek. This award reflects the sustained quality and importance of the site for mountain hikers.
