This seven day, cabin to cabin tour starts in western Rondane at Høvringen, southwards through this wonderfully varied area and finally to the Ringebu mountains. The route is nowhere steep, although there will be an opportunity to climb a spectacular 2,000 metre peak while staying an extra night at Rondvassbu.
Accommodation is in DNT-lodges, hotels and self-service cabins.

The cheapest flights to Oslo are usually with Norwegian.com, who fly from Edinburgh & Gatwick for about £85 currently (October 2010). Skyscanner is a good site for getting an overview of all flights available, including indirect flights from all over country. There are several Oslo airports, some of which have more than one name. Oslo Gardermoen is the desired airport as it links with the train station to the start of our tour.
To join this adventure and get access to the amazing hut system it is necessary to join the Norwegian Trekking Association ('DNT'). This currently costs about £57, £44 for seniors and £ £32 for students. The many membership benefits include a magasine, gear discounts and reduced rates on the Norwegian railway.
