Suggestions from the hytte ON FOOT:
Hike from the cottage to Ruten (1513 meters, fantastic view) - 2-4 hours, or Bingsbu - 1-2 hours; or 2-3 kms along Peer Gynt road until you can see the majestetic Hedalsmuen.
Suggestions from the hytte WITH CAR:
Drive to Helvete potholes (20 mins drive) and continue south to the parking next to Vis-Knutheimen. Hike from there to Trona (1 hour) with fantastic view over Jotunheimen and Rondane; drive to Skåbu ( 15 mins) and do the short hike to Skardfjellet for the view; see 'Elgtårnet' near the hotels (Dalseter and Ruten fjellstue); or the Espedalen mountain church with the little island for winter-graves from the times when there were mining in Espedalen.
If you pass Skåbu and comtinue to Jotunheimvegen, you may stop and see the the place where they captured falcons until 1600.
