Summer and autumn: from Pyhätuntunturi take road 962 (Pyhä-Luosto road) and follow it for 9 km in the direction of Luosto. Then turn left onto a gravel covered road called Huttujärventie and drive along it for 2 km. At the end of the road there is a beam and a parking area. The remaining 2,5 km to Huttujärvi must be hiked. The road is in poor condition so we recommend driving carefully.
Huttujärventie road does not have winter maintenance. The nearest parking option in winter is along the Pyhä-Luosto road, about 1 km north of the Huttujärventie intersection.
There are buses (matkahuolto.fi) from Rovaniemi and Kemijärvi to Pyhä-Luosto. The bus stop closest to the hut is about 600 m from the Huttujärventie road intersection, from where it is a 5 km walk or ski to the rental hut.

The yard close to the hut is also used for firewood storage, so there can sometimes be big piles of wood.
Lake Huttujärvi is about 200 m from the hut. There is no official swimming spot. You can fish in the northern half of the lake using one rod from the shore with paid Fisheries Management Fee.

Take lock de-icer with you just in case the box's lid is stuck due to frost. Metsähallitus does not have maintenance on site.
