The DNT-key

Borrowing a DNT-key
If you are a member of DNT, you may borrow a DNT cabin key against a deposit of NOK 100, which is refunded upon return. If you’re not yet a member, you may join here. To get the key, please remember to bring a valid proof of membership, by card, app, email, or by text message.
Where to pick up the key
You can pick up and return cabin keys at all staffed lodges owned by DNT. For example Gjendesheim or Finsehytta.
The DNT member association offices also have the key. In Oslo, the office is located in Storgata 3, only 5 minutes walk from Oslo central station. It is called "Tursenteret". There is DNT tour center in many big cities in Norway: Bergen, Trondheim, Stavanger, Kristiansand, Ålesund, Tromsø, Hamar and Lillehammer.
DNT have a webshop called www.dntbutikken.no where you can order the key, maps and other equipment for your trip.
Where to use the key
DNT has more than 500 cabins throughout Norway. About 450 of them are not staffed and are self-service or no-service cabins. The DNT-key fits the locks on all these cabins. Browse to find the cabin of your choice on UT.no and check to see if the DNT-key is listed under "Key".
Keeping a DNT-key
You may keep a DNT-key as long as you are a DNT member. You may return a DNT-key and be refunded the NOK 100 deposit on it at a DNT staffed lodge, a DNT office or a collaborating partner office.
Who can borrow the DNT-key?
You must be a member of the Norwegian Trekking Association (DNT), Svenska Turistforeningen, Suomen Latu, or Ferðafélag Íslands to borrow the DNT-key. If you’re not yet a member, you may join here.
