How to book accommodation at DNT cabins
With our new booking site we have made it easy for you to plan and book your next stay at DNT cabins. Accomodation cannot always be booked in advance, but everyone who comes to a cabin will have a place to sleep, either in a bunk or on a mattress on the floor.

The DNT Key
Most unstaffed DNT cabins are locked with the DNT-key. So it’s always wise to have the little DNT-key with you on a hike or ski tour.
