DNT membership: https://english.dnt.no/join/ If you are below 27, a membership makes sense if you use a cabin at least twice before the end of the year. If you are older, you need to use a cabin 6 times in order to save money. Attention: Memberships end on 31.12, so they don't last 1 year if you sign up now.

*Regarding organized activities*
BSI Friluft is a voluntary association where neither the board nor leaders of a trip get any economic benefits from this work. As such, the board and leaders of a trip do not necessarily possess qualifications as mountain guides and do not have any financial or judicial liability of any kind. Trip leaders are merely coordinators of the activities undertaken. By Norwegian law, in a case of emergency all are required to aid the person in need according to their own qualifications, physical abilities, and evaluation of the risk involved. Participators are strongly advised to assess their own qualifications before enlisting to a trip. The trip leaders do have the right to refuse participants who do not possess the technical or physical skills necessary to participate in a trip, All activities are undertaken at the participator`s own risk and responsibility, and by enlisting to a trip the participator confirms this. A travel insurance is recommended.
