Lordehytta

Lordehytta in winter

Lordehytta (Lord Hut) is a stone mountain hut on Folarskardet in Hallingskarvet in Norway. It is the only cabin on the mountain and was built around 1880 by the younger Lord Garvagh.

The cabin is located at 1,620 meters above sea level.[1][2][3] It is only accessible on foot, and is about 3 hours' journey from Haugastøl or Raggsteindalen.[4] The cabin is a larger version of a herder's summer shelter in the mountains[4] and consists of two rooms: an outer storeroom for firewood, food, and equipment and an inner room with a fireplace. It is used both as a destination and as an emergency shelter. The cabin was completely renovated in 1990.[2]
