A modest open wilderness hut is available year-round. A demanding wilderness destination. The wilderness hut is situated 18 km east of the southern tip of Lake Ala-Kilpisjärvi by the River Suhpejohka / Suppijoki. From a fork of the river it is 700 m downstream on the east bank of the west branch.

The open wilderness hut is a shared and free resting and overnight place for independent hikers (not for companies). You can stay in wilderness huts for one or two nights without a reservation. Be prepared for the possibility that there may not be enough space to sleep in the hut.
