Juvasshytta

This is about the organized hike. The guides were quite unfriendly. We were a group of about 100 people. In the beginning they said that you don't need crampons, only the elderly or those with "very slippery shoes" would need them. Even though the rocks at the top of the mountain were covered with snow and ice. I was wise enough to take crampons anyway and put them on before the glacier. Saw many struggling and slipping on the rocks. I'm no stranger to mountain climbing. I still enjoyed the mountain, but the guiding was reckless and in no way safe or up to the standart of care one would expect from professional guides.

expensive rooms, had to book because i got sick while backpacking and couldnt freeze another night in the tent. breakfast was included and the staff was super friendly!

The room was nice and clean. View amazing. But it was just too hot everywhere inside. No floor dryer in combined shower and WC.

Location is beautiful but buildings are in a sad state. Our room was in a pre-fab building, almost like a big trailer, overlooking a huge gravel parking lot. The hotel does not respect the nature and magnificent location, but instead just offers a big ugly parking lot surrounded by run-down buildings. The food was okay. This place needs major upgrades, and a general change of mind-set to create a hotel which fits in with the awe-inspiring mountains around it.

Great starting point to climb Galdhøpiggen. More like hostel/cabin vibe with hotel prices, but nice modern minimalist rooms with en-suite if desired. Meal times were like being in a hostel as communal tables, but food was excellent restaurant quality. |We did the organised trek across the glacier to the summit. Not a particularly enjoyable hike, but amazing views at the summit and well worth the climb. We were tied on to each other while crossing the glacier which made sense, however I didn’t agree with us being tied to each other when climbing over rocks. Being pulled in different directions is hard enough on the glacier, but felt dangerous on the rocks. The hike was also very busy, but still so glad we did it.

I stayed here with my team for two weeks and when I sat down on the bench (already loose on the stall) in the bathroom, it fully colapsed. The owner tried to charge me 4000nok and i never payed simply because it wasn’t my fault. I get why it could be difficult to replace a bench in the mountains but nowhere on earth, a few screws and labor costs this much.||Not only when I stayed here I had to pay for toilets, showers and food. But the hotel rooms are basically closets and the food is unreliable. Some people say they have had a great stay here and you might get lucky, but from my experience just save yourself from this scam.

A very nice restaurant and a great team. We spent a very nice afternoon there. I had forgotten my jacket there and only realised this when I had already driven a few hundred kilometres further. The staff were very friendly and sent it to me. Extremely nice!

Went spontaniously when I saw that the weather was about to be perfect for skiing. The beds were booked due to easter weekend, so I brought a tent with me, usually when one does this at mountain cabins one have to stay at a large distance from the buildings, or pay a high fee to use the amenities. Asking often causes some dismay and losthing from hosts, but at Juvass I asked at the reception and they were friendly, suggested the location with the very best view(!) and were geniuinly interested in hearing my plans. When a pitched the tent a cute Norwegian Elk hound came over, wanted to play and sniffed at my food bag and licked on some of the breads I had managed to spoil with toddy earlier. Such a good girl. the next day I signed up for the guided ski tour to the summit. Excellent guides who gave me good tips and were quite forgiving when I was the slower of the pack. Noticed how the staff were mostly local, very balanced in age and gender. This is quite rare at norwegian mountain cabins, usually it is either all hired temps, only old hosts or teenagers galore. Here the staff that I met where for example teachers, who had been working there as side-gig for years, quite talkative( rare in Norway) and the staff seemed to care how I(least monetary valuable guest) fared. prices are what one can expect for such a location, there are more cheaper barebone accommodation available down in the valley. Bathrooms were modern and clean and no que during morning rush(lots of stalls). I jokingly told one of the guides about the dog getting into my food, and some time after returning one of the staff approached me, apologized and offered freshly baked bread to compensate. I straight up refused to take such in exchange for, lets be honest, cheap spoiled storebrand garbage. I countered with asking if I could have a jug of cold water, to drink in the lounge. Got it immediately. This place is up there with Alesjaure(on the Kings trail in Sweden) with best mountain experience I have had.
