The Rautulampi shared rental hut is located along the marked trail in the demanding wildernesslike National Park of Urho Kekkonen. The hut is not accessible during the thaw. In the same building there is also an open wilderness hut and a drying room. The day hut is in a separate building. The nearest shops and restaurants are located in Saariselkä and in Kiilopää.
A shared rental hut is a reservable place for an overnight stay where you can book a paid bed for 1–2 nights.
The reservation day for shared rental huts and rental huts begins at 2 pm and end at 12 noon.
Bring along your invoice and proof of payment to the hut.
The use of huts and other structures in business operations requires a permit from Metsähallitus (metsa.fi).
