Its bold angles really stand out, while the grey tones in the wood compliment the surrounding stone scree. Thus, Rabothytta manages to both blend into and enrich the landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-enjoying-nature-from-inside-the-cabin\">Enjoying nature from inside the cabin<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Inside the cabin, you are struck by the enormous windows. On a clear day, the D\u00f8nnamannen and Tomma mountains and many of Helgeland&#8217;s islands are visible from the living room. Okstindbreen seems to be just a stone&#8217;s throw from the kitchen table, with the mountaintops just behind. The colour and design of the walls, floors, ceilings, the long low sofa bench and the kitchen units are neutral \u2014 it&#8217;s the natural exterior landscape that acts as the d\u00e9cor and entertainment. Rabothytta does not shut nature out; rather, it is a safe and warm lookout point in the mountains.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"wp-block-vnn-gallery gallery-count-2\">\n\t\t<ul><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/007522_Jan-Inge-Larsen_Helgeland-Reiseliv.jpg\" data-size=\"1920x1080\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">01<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/007522_Jan-Inge-Larsen_Helgeland-Reiseliv.jpg\" alt=\"The Rabot cabin is a architectural masterpiece (\u00a9) Jan Inge Larsen\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/007522_Jan-Inge-Larsen_Helgeland-Reiseliv.jpg\" data-caption=\"The Rabot cabin is a architectural masterpiece (\u00a9) Jan Inge Larsen\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/007968_Fabrice-Milichau_Helgeland-Reiseliv-AS-1.jpg\" data-size=\"1920x1272\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">02<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/007968_Fabrice-Milichau_Helgeland-Reiseliv-AS-1.jpg\" alt=\"Sunset above the Rabot Cabin \u00a9 Fabrice Milichau\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/007968_Fabrice-Milichau_Helgeland-Reiseliv-AS-1.jpg\" data-caption=\"Sunset above the Rabot Cabin \u00a9 Fabrice Milichau\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><\/ul><div class=\"vnn-gallery-figcaptions\"><figcaption>01: The Rabot cabin is a architectural masterpiece (\u00a9) Jan Inge Larsen<\/figcaption><figcaption>02: Sunset above the Rabot Cabin \u00a9 Fabrice Milichau<\/figcaption><\/div>\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-a-cabin-on-the-site-of-an-old-camping-ground\">A cabin on the site of an old camping ground<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At a height of 1,200&nbsp;m (3,937&nbsp;ft) and just beside Okstindbreen, there is a large flat area where people used to pitch their tents and spend the night before setting off on a glacier hike. Hemnes Turistforening, the local branch of the DNT, wanted to build a new cabin here as an alternative to the simple stone hut further down the valley. This small association collaborated with local authorities, local businesses and many local supporters. The new cabin became a project for Hemnes to be proud of, and was named in honour of Charles Rabot, the French geographer and mountaineer who climbed the peaks of Okstindan in the 1800s and made them known outside Helgeland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-cabin-no-500\">Cabin No.&nbsp;500<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Svein Arne Brygfjell of Hemnes Turistforening says that they wanted to build a cabin that was reflective of its location, landscape and nature, and that was a destination in itself. They approached two of Norway&#8217;s most renowned architectural companies, Sn\u00f8hetta and Jarmund Vigsn\u00e6s.&nbsp;Jarmund Vigsn\u00e6s&#8217; draft was selected. More cabins are associated with the DNT each year, and because of its strong architectural lines, Rabothytta was chosen as Cabin No.&nbsp;500 at their national convention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-adapted-to-the-climate-maintenance-free-and-local\">Adapted to the climate, maintenance-free and local<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One criterion was for the mountains to be brought into the cabin, so that nature would not be blocked out. However, large windows are vulnerable, so they were constructed in order to withstand objects that become airborne during a storm. The building should also not require maintenance for fifty years. As such, the spruce cladding is not painted and will become greyer. The grey tones vary depending on the weather and atmospheric humidity, so the cabin looks different every time you see it. A local manufacturer supplied the glass, all of the furniture was made by a local carpenter and the spruce used to build the cabin was grown in the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"wp-block-vnn-gallery gallery-count-3\">\n\t\t<ul><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"\" data-size=\"x\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\" alt=\"\" data-full-url=\"\" data-caption=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"\" data-size=\"x\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\" alt=\"\" data-full-url=\"\" data-caption=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"\" data-size=\"x\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\" alt=\"\" data-full-url=\"\" data-caption=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><\/ul>\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-safe-spacious-and-self-sufficient\">Safe, spacious and self-sufficient<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The cabin dimensions are dimensioned for a classroom, as Hemnes Turistforening wanted a learning arena for outdoor recreation, geography, natural science and interaction. When there are not many people in the cabin, most of it can be closed off and only one third of the cabin needs to be heated. Sometimes bad weather makes it dangerous to go outside: Both the woodshed and the modern bio toilet are part of the main building, so the storm can rage outside while you are safe and warm indoors. The cabin also features solar panels and a wind turbine, generating 230&nbsp;volts of electricity without being on the grid.&nbsp;The entire cabin takes up just 150&nbsp;square metres (1,615&nbsp;square feet), and makes excellent use of space without having unnecessary corridors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\"

School or large groups must book in advance, but this is not necessary for couples or small groups. Rabothytta is a popular destination for day-trippers, and there is a small charge for one-day stays.
