Finsehytta is a magnificent starting point for southward on the Hardanger Pleateau or northward into Skarvheimen, the collective name for the ranges that lie north of the Bergen Railway Line and south of the Jotunheimen. The lodge lies midway between Hardangerjøkulen and Hallingskarvet. With trains almost to the door, the lodge is the base for ski touring until late May.

In summer, Finsehytta is a natural lodging for all who cycle the Rallarvegen as well as a starting point for the scenic trip down the Aurland Valley.
