Bookings for rental huts for 2027 open on May 5th at Eraluvat.fi

Metsähallitus has around 130 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.

We are updating the prices of some rental sites. The changes are due to increased maintenance costs and the harmonisation of pricing, so that huts of a similar standard will in the future be mostly similarly priced.Costs are increased in particular by long distances, as many huts are located far from roads and maintenance requires demanding transport. Metsähallitus’ aim is not to generate profit from rental sites, but to cover the costs arising from their operation with rental income.

Up-to-date prices are always shown in the Eräluvat.fi service when making a booking.

• Creating a user account is recommended. When logged in, you don’t have to pay immediately. You can also cancel unpaid bookings yourself. Create an account (eraluvat.fi).
• Make each booking as a separate logged-in order. This way, you can delay payment until 14 days before the start of each of your trips.
• Reservations that require invoicing must always go through customer service. The service is open on weekdays from 9:00 to 15:00. See contact details at Eraluvat.fi.
• Businesses can book without logging in, but payment must be then made immediately. A business may also create a user account for an authorized person. For logged-in users, the due date is set to 14 days before the booking. For invoicing, contact customer service. Creating a business account specifically for hut bookings is not possible.
• For businesses too, it's best to make separate bookings for each trip. This makes cancellation easier.
