The Háldi / Halti shared rental hut is a demanding wilderness destination. Navigation skills are needed to get to the hut. The hut is not accessible during the thaw. The hut is located in the Käsivarsi Wilderness Reserve, nestled in open, rugged terrain on vast fells. Formerly owned by Finland's Border Guard, it sits on the northern shore of a lake at the southern base of Haltitunturi Fell. The hut is approximately 1.5 km from the Nordkalott Trail, about 50 km by foot or ski to Kilpisjärvi village, and roughly 5 km from the highest point in Finland, Halti Fell.
This destination is suitable for those who are experienced in hiking in challenging conditions and wish to immerse themselves in true wilderness. The ski touring season runs from March to April, while the recommended hiking season is from early July to early September. The building also includes an open wilderness hut that accommodates 8 people.
