Hannukuru Reservable Wilderness Hut

22.3.2024
Exceptionally, bookings for the reservation and rental huts maintained by National Parks Finland for the year 2025 can only be made starting from the beginning of November 2024. More information

The forested and rocky valley of Hannukuru is the true centre of the Hetta-Pallas Hiking Trail. It is located in the middle of the summer trail, close to beautiful fell heaths. The hut is ideal for Hetta-Pallas Hiking Trail hikers, who appreciate sleeping in a proper bed and want to make they get a bed place on this popular trail. During spring time, the hut can be reached on a maintained ski track. Those travelling at other times of the year must be able to find their way in extremely demanding conditions, as there is only a short amount of daylight in the winter and the weather can change very quickly.  

Reservable wilderness hut, 24 persons (12 + 12)

There is a sauna at the small lake, situated about 150 metres from the hut. Near the hut there is a campfire shelter and a camping site.

Notices

Please note that it takes some time before the hut is properly warm. 

In the winter, the well does not work. The water has to be fetched from the stream north of the sauna or melted from snow.

Please, do not wash dishes or yourself closer than 15 m to the well to avoid bacteria to get into the well.

The sauna fee is 10 € / adult, 5 € / child (under 7 years) or for a member of a group (a group is > 10 persons). Payment in advance in the Eräluvat webshop (verkkokauppa.eraluvat.fi) or in the Pallas-Yllästunturi National Park's visitor centres.

We suggest the following arrangement; women use the sauna during even-numbered hours and men during odd-numbered hours. This way everyone will get a chance to go.

The peak seasons for this hut are Easter holidays and the autumn´s ruska season. Pets are not permitted in the hut.

There is an open wilderness hut located 200 meters from the reservable wilderness hut.

Visitors must come prepared with warm clothing, food, drink, maps, compass, orienteering skills and matches. Fog or storms can form in just a few hours. Take also your own toilet paper.
