Finsehytta (hostel) at Finse, Norway

Finse is an area in the Ulvik municipality of Hordaland. The railway station at Finse on the Bergensbanen at 1,222m is the highest station on the entire Norwegian railway system. The area a hotel (Finse 1222), a hostel (Finsehytta) and a number of private cabins. During the winter, Finse is popular for cross-country skiing, sail skiing, expedition training and Red Cross training. The ill-fated Scott expedition to the South Pole trained here. There is one small drag-lift which allows you to downhill ski on one slope back into town. During the summer the focus switches to mountain cycling, walking and glacier walking on the adjacent 'blue ice' Hardangerjøkulen glacier.
