Rabothytta - Norways most awesome tourist cabin

The road up from Korgen winds through large agricultural valleys and past several houses on the way up. At the top of Leirskardalen, the asphalt turns to gravel and we find parking at Leirbotnet. The journey continues gently upwards before a final climb carries us forward over a moon-like landscape. After a five-kilometre hike from the car park, we see the plateau where Rabothytta stands steady and forms a fairy-tale sight with the fog hanging thickly above it. The building blends into the landscape with its diagonal shapes and earth tones.
Majestically, it lies there waiting for you as you approach 1,200 m above sea level. The Rabothytta is located at the end of the Okstind glacier, and the blue ice forms a wonderful contrast to the color of the cabin. … and the view; it simply takes your breath away!
The sun is shining and it is mild when we arrive at the parking space in the hillside above Leirbotnet. The fact that it's a bit windy doesn't matter, so we set off up the T-marked path towards Mørkbekktjønna. It is almost pure migration in the mountains today, and we greet a number of hikers on our way up. When we get to the top, it's finally time to take a closer look at the beautiful cabin. It is the Hemnes tourist association, and in particular Svein Arne Brygfjeld, who have been at the forefront of building this magnificent example of a tourist cabin - the highest in northern Norway! Inside the cabin it is warm, while the wind can be heard outside. There are binoculars mounted on a stand, placed in front of the large windows, and those must of course be tested.
We will meet at the top of Leirskardalen, and the guide will take you on from there. Once up, we arrange a simple lunch either inside the cabin or outside.
