I absolutely LOVE this cabin! Whenever I go hiking in Jotunheimen, I try to plan my trip around…read morestaying here. During summer you can hike here to/from Leirvassbu, Ingjerdbu, Turtagrø or Sognefjellshytta/Krossbu. I especially love the hike from Sognefjellshytta to Skogadalsbøen. This hike is not very demanding physically, as it starts out at 1400 meters above sea level, and ends up at 833 meters at Skogadalsbøen. This particular hike features stunning views of Guridalen and surrounding mountains as you hike down towards the cabin. Late summer is preferred as the snow is melted and (hopefully) the heavy rain has paused. Check out this site for more info: http://www.ut.no/hytte/3.2004/

Unfortunately I cannot recommend the Skogadalsbøen hut. The managers, are inflexible around changes…read morein plans due to illness despite a full week's notice and repeated explanations of the reason for having to cancel. They cite DNT policy but seem incapable of reasonable flexibility. We prepaid for meals for a party of five with two children, the total booking for one night was over 5500 NOK. We had a child traveling with us with type 1 diabetes who we realized would not be able to make the strenuous hike in. We contacted the desk and the management and explained the situation. We were prepared to pay a cancellation fee or even the total fee for the dorm room beds but we were given a pat answer and zero refund. To pay 5500 NOK for a cancelled reservation due to childhood illness with one week notice leaves a bad taste in one's mouth and is excessive. I have heard it is a beautiful place but I would not recommend booking given their inflexible policies and management. You can always show up and ask to be accommodated. When presented with the situation they reply: DNT centrally is not involved in daily management of the cabins. When prebooking a stay at a serviced DNT cabin, prices and what the package/stay includes, are listed in the booking-portal"hyttebestilling.dnt.no" you used to book your stay. In order to finalize a booking, you have to agree to the terms and conditions. These include the cancelation-policy of no refunds of the stay the last seven days prior to arrival. This term is also noted on the booking-confirmation that is sent to the email used when booking the stay.
