Keimiöjärvi rental hut is a demanding wilderness destination. The hut is not accessible during the thaw. The hut is located on the northwest shore of Lake Keimiöjärvi, in the Pallas-Yllästunturi National Park. Thanks to its location, the hut is ideal for aurora borealis photographers. The most popular time is winter and spring. In the winter it should be kept in mind that there is no maintained ski track by the hut.
A rental hut is a place for an overnight stay that can be rented for only your use.
