Leirvassbu DNT

Located on the shore of Lake Leirvatnet in stunning mountain scenery. A great ski territory!

Leirvassbu stands out for its stunning location in the heart of Jotunheimen National Park, at 1405 m.a.s.l. surrounded by towering mountains, glaciers, and crystal-clear lakes which represents a real Mecca for mountain lovers and those in search of natural environments. Established first in 1873 from Emanuel Mohn – one of the founders of DNT- as a private mountain lodge, the building has been overtaken by the DNT in 2023 and it offers a cozy and comfortable retreat for hikers, skiers, and outdoor enthusiasts, with excellent food and accommodations. Its peculiar position - among 4 valleys and over 50 peaks over 2000 m.a.s.l. - makes Leirvassbu a hub for guided tours and outdoor activities, such as glacier walks and summit hikes, making it a perfect base for exploring the wilderness of Norway. We suggest a visit to Kyrkja, mountain of a peculiar name (in local language “church”) and equal peculiar looks; you will not be deceived!
