The deck faces west. When the weather holds, three ridgelines stack up one behind another — and the sun drops straight behind the farthest. We lend blankets and ponchos when it's cool.
In 1987, Ingrid Brekke put a coffee kettle on a primus stove up at the pass. Just a tarpaulin and a gas burner, but walkers stopped, and it became a habit. Over twenty years it grew into the small timber lodge that stands there today.
Ingrid ran the place alone until 2011. Now her granddaughter Sigrid brews the coffee and bakes the waffles — same recipe, same iron, same view. Ingrid still comes up every Saturday in season.
“We don't have a coffee machine. We brew by hand — like grandma did.”
“The mountain decides everything. We just show up.”
There's no road to the door. Park at Skagsli trail parking (bays 4–6), then follow the marked trail (red T) upward. It's about 90 minutes up, 60 down. The trail is bare from May through October.
Skagsli trail parking, bays 4–6. Free, but limited — come early on weekends.
Red T-mark from the parking. Steady climb, some boggy parts after rain. Map and GPX on ut.no.
You'll see the lodge at the pass after about 90 min. Smoke from the chimney means we've lit the stove — and that we're open.
We reply when we have signal. Usually the same evening.
