The construction of the cabin is made of prefabricated solid wooden elements of spruce which resulted in a short construction time, a great advantage on site in the mountainess scenery and due to the sometimes harsh weather conditions. Designed by Oslo-based firm Helen & Hard Architects.

Gudbrandslie Cabin is situated near Tyinkrysset, Filefjell at the border of Jotunheimen National Park.
