Not many DNT cabins along the gudbrandsalen at all. We did a combination of hammock camping, stabburs, camping huts and hotels, once in a while. While Norway is certainly more expensive than Spain, its not THAT bad...We would try to vary it-- camp sometimes and splurge others. We stayed at a church community center in Hoff for "albergue" type prices, we were the only ones there. It was pretty much the recreation room for a church community center. At 7:00pm as we were drinking our tea and getting ready to call it a night, a group of about 20 teenage church youth came in and had their weekly gathering...yep, in the same room. Ping-pong tables going, billiards, playing guitars and singing... :\ It's what we paid for I suppose, couldn't complain... We didn't get to bed till 11pm. We still laugh about it till this day. They were lovely people there though. Although from that experience on, we opted for the free huts in the forest-- we had the right gear, why not? There are some shared hunting huts spread throughout the walk, they were always a welcome sight for getting out of the rain for a while. Oh, there are also a few campsites along the trail which rent out mini cabins- those were fun. The traditional stabburs were great experience. Sleeping like a medieval pilgrim on short stalls and hay pillows. Like my wife called them: our adult size cradles
We got an MSR pocket rocket for this trip specifically, since all they seem to have in the shops are Primus gas canisters. I had read that the threads were compatible before the trip and they were- worked perfectly.
Enjoy this walk! it was an amazing trip.
