Huts

You can book a hut either entirely or partially for your own use. Metsähallitus has around 150 rental and shared rental huts located throughout Finland, especially near national parks and hiking areas.

The level of amenities in the huts varies: most are without electricity, some have saunas, and many can only be reached on foot or by skiing. Each rental and shared rental hut has its own page where you can find detailed information about location and amenities and make a reservation. Booking a hut is subject to a fee.

Nature tourism companies can use rental and shared rental huts as rest stops for their customers, but this requires permission from Metsähallitus. Read more in the information bank for entrepreneurs.
