Pahtavaara, Open Wilderness Hut

A modest open wilderness hut is available year-round.

The wilderness hut is situated on the south side of Tupakkalaki Fell at the foot of Pahtavaara Hill on the shore of a small lake. The wilderness hut is 7 km from the Muotkavaara – Äkäslompolo road. The hut was moved here from its previous location at Ruostevaara in 2006.

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.

Facilities:

• Sleeping places for 6.
• Heating with a stove.
• No drinking water point. Water from natural sources must be purified before drinking.
• No waste management. Take your own waste out of the area.
• Bring your own cooking utensils.
• Pets are allowed in the hut only with the consent of other users.
