With a name that sounds like it came from Star Wars, and a location above 1800m, Juvasshytta is a fine base. It sits in the shadow of Galdhøpiggen, Norway's highest peak, and staff can arrange guided walks, glacier hikes and climbs to the summit. The lodge-style accommodation ranges from barn-basic to quite comfortable.
