How much does a night in a DNT cabin cost, and how do you pay?
Prices, member discounts and paying in the DNT app.
Short answer
A bed at a DNT self-service or no-service cabin typically costs NOK 250–350 per night, and you pay in the DNT app by card or Vipps. DNT members get discounts at all cabins, and full board at a staffed lodge costs about NOK 1,300 for members. The app also works offline.
Why
- DNT states that prices at self-service and no-service cabins typically range from NOK 250 to 350 per night.
- DNT Ung members pay half price, and child members aged 0–12 stay free at most self-service and no-service cabins.
- Payment in the DNT app is made by card or Vipps, and the money goes to the local association that runs the cabin.
Details
Stays booked in advance are paid online when you book. If you turn up without a booking, you pay on arrival or shortly after in the DNT app, and food you take from the pantry at a self-service cabin must also be paid for. Without coverage you register what you used and pay in the app later. At staffed lodges you pay at reception or online when booking.
Tip
Download the DNT app and log in before the trip, so you can register your stay at a cabin without mobile coverage.
What may differ
Prices vary between cabins and room types. At DNT Oslo og Omegn's staffed lodges in 2026, a dormitory bed costs NOK 290 for members and NOK 382 for others, and children aged 0–3 stay free. UT.no lists the payment methods for each cabin.
Common misconception
You have to be a DNT member to stay in a DNT cabin.
What actually happens
The cabins are open to everyone, but members pay less. At locked self-service and no-service cabins you need the standard DNT key, which is a member benefit.
