Cabin description

Route description

NOTE: There is usually snow in this area of Tydalen until late spring and early summer. It is therefore strongly recommended to bring skis or snowshoes when going to this cabin before mid-May, even when Trondheim is totally free of snow (and has been for a while). Snowshoes/skis can be borrowed from NTNUI Bumerang or BUA in Selbu or Stjørdalen.

By car you take the RV 705 to Tydal. In summer there is a road, called Lødøljvegen, which follows the river Lauva, which leaves the main road at Aunet (ca. 1km behind the church before you cross the bridge across Lødølja). It's a pay road and you have to pay for it to Ivar Flakne (Phone: +47 41418459) in the summer, in the winter, you don't have to pay. Remember to call or text Ivar Flakne well in advance an make an appointment for him to open the the road for you, both in summer and winter. In summer you can park your car 800m from the cabin, in winter it's also possible to drive in this road but you have to walk a little bit longer.

If you came by bus, it's easiest to take the same road (ca 14km). It might be an idea to take your bike with you. If you don't want to carry your skis in winter you should use the road on the other side of the river which passes Holmsåkoia.

Stabburet is not easy to distinguish from the surroundings, both buildings have a dark colour and are quite small. If the weather is nice you should follow the marches from the end of the road in north-north-east direction to the timberline. The cabin is placed between birches next to Lauvvola on the same height as a small top at Kvammen (862).

If the weather is bad or if it is dark the cabin is really difficult to find. If you don't have a GPS with you it is easiest to find the power line and pole number 139 (you will find the number in a height of 2-3m at the northern side of the pole, the numbers are increasing in north direction). From here you have to go 400m with a compass course of 109° to find the cabin. There are put up some reflectors at the cabin and in the trees around, make finding the cabin easier in darkness.

Quite often you will find a scooter track going to Ramsjøhytta. It might be comfortable to follow it but it does not pass Stabburet. There is a sign next to it saying "NTNUI 300m" (also marked with reflectors) and showing the direction.

Degree of difficulty

	1)	For beginners. These cabins are easy to find and a road is going all the way to the cabin. You should anyhow be familiar with map and compass.
	2)	For those with some experience. Characteristic for this category is that the cabins are not far from the nearest road and that the terrain is simple to walk in.
	3)	For experienced users. These cabins are situated farther from the nearest road and require good orienteering skills. May be exposed to the weather during winter.
	4)	For ambitious users. What distinguishes these cabins from level 3 is that the terrain is more demanding on the way to the cabin, as well as that they can be hard to find.
	5)	Demanding. The trip requires that you are familiar with the mountains and are well equipped. Long walking distance and weather conditions might be challenging.
