It's great that these shelters exist on the Gendarmstien, they allow for an inexpensive point-to-point hike for self-sufficient people. Sometimes they come a bit smoky.

You don't have to book it. You can book it for 50 kr, true, to be entitled to have a place. The problem is just, if other people have taken it without checking the availability. (most people don't). It's difficult for most people to ask strangers to leave it because you have paid for it.
