Mjølfjell Y.H. was the first purpose-built Y.H. in Norway. Erected in 1939, most construction work was done for free by ethusiasts form many parts of the world. A prerequisite for running the Y.H. was the supply of electrisity. In 1946 a hydroelectric power station was put to use by diverting parts of the Raun valley river through a wooden pipeline. It is still running, and up until the mid sixties the plant supplied the whole Mjølfjell area. Inside the plant there is virtually a live museum, showing in a few square-meters the production of  electrisity. Some of the major parts, like the hydro turbine, dates back to 1914 while other parts of the equipment have been gradually modernized.   Daytrips to Voss or Flåmsdalen.
