Bookings for rental huts for 2026 open on May 5th at Eraluvat.fi

Metsähallitus has around 150 rental and shared rental huts located across Finland. You can explore the available options on Eraluvat.fi.

A locked rental hut is a shelter and an accommodation option for hikers in nature protection areas or wilderness areas. Only the group with a booking can stay overnight in the hut. After payment, the renter receives information on how to access the hut key. Rental huts can typically be booked for a maximum of one week. Each hut’s specific booking period is stated on its page.

In a shared rental hut, you can book a bed for a night or two. You share the hut with other hikers. A reservable hut may also be part of, or connected to, an open wilderness hut.

In addition to huts, Eraluvat.fi also offers short-term bookings for sites such as rental campfire huts (kotas), saunas, tent sites, and cooking shelters.
