DNT Cabins in Bergsdalen

There are many beautiful DNT cabins in Bergsdalen. You do not need to be a member of DNT (Bergen Turlag) to book accommodation, but as a member you get a significant discount.

It is approx. 1.5 hours drive from Bergen to Bergsdalen. The valley itself is 20 km long and runs from Dale towards Voss. The valley is the gateway to an attractive mountain area that extends south towards Kvamskogen. The drive from Dale is an experience in itself. In case of slippery roads or bad weather, it is recommended to drive to Bulken and then up via Hamlagrø.
