    Can you book a hut in a Finnish national park?

    The bookable hut types and how they differ.

    Answered at: Checked at:

    Short answer

    Yes. Metsähallitus offers two bookable hut types through eraluvat.fi. In a shared rental hut you book a bed for one or two nights, and strangers may share the space. A rental hut is reserved for your group only, for one or more nights up to a week. Open wilderness huts and day-use huts are free and cannot be booked.

    Book early for popular routes in Lapland in March, April and the autumn ruska season, when beds fill up first.

    What may differ

    Rental campfire huts are a separate type: locked huts booked for a few hours or a day for group meals and campfires.

    All huts in Finnish national parks are free.
