About the accommodation

The mountain cabin lies at the centre of the magnificent U-valley that divides Storfjället across its complete width. The first cabins in Viterskalet were already built in 1925, with the new STF Viterskalet constructed as late as 2001.

This is how it works in a mountain cabin
Our mountain cabins offer a simple and authentic stay in multi-bedded rooms with self catering. The rooms are different sizes with bunk beds and usually heated by gas stoves. On site you will be greeted by a cabin manager. As a guest you chop wood, fetch water from the stream or lake, wash up and clean up after youself.
