About

Hyttevarsel

Features
Read full description

Hyttevarsel sier fra når en DNT-hytte blir ledig på datoene du ønsker. Mange av hyttene er fullbooket langt frem i tid. Samtidig kan avbestillinger skje, og da blir plassen ledig igjen. Problemet er å være raskt nok ute når det skjer. Det er jobben til Hyttevarsel. Du trenger ingen konto, og appen har hverken reklame eller sporing. Hyttevarsel er en uavhengig app, og er ikke laget av eller tilknyttet Den Norske Turistforening. Selve bookingen skjer hos hyttebestilling.dnt.no og krever DNT-medlemskap. Appen booker ingenting for deg, den sier fra når du kan booke selv.
