Jorŋâluohtâ / Selkälahti rental hut is located in a wilderness area of Lake Inari. Navigation skills are needed to get to the hut. The hut is not accessible during the thaw. The hut is the Border Guard's former control point and located in the northern part of Lake Inarijärvi, on Čärbinsuálui Island on the northern side of Varttasaari Island. The hut is located at the bottom of the sheltered Selkälahti Bay and there is a jetty on the shore that is also suitable for large boats. The interior of the cabin was renovated in 2009 and it is suitable for year-round use. There is also a sauna in the yard.
A rental hut is a place for an overnight stay that can be rented for only your use.

Facilities
Heating and lighting
The hut has a stove and a cast-iron fireplace firewood for heating. Please use firewood sparingly. Please note that it takes some time before the hut is properly warm.
The hut has a solar panel, but as the sunlight decreases, its power decreases.
We recommend using a headlamp, which leaves your hands free to do chores around the hut. For safety reasons, candles must be burned on a non-combustible surface and constantly monitored.
Cooking
A gas stove, a gas oven and a gas refrigerator.
Drinking water
There is no running water in the hut.
Household water is taken from the lake. It is recommended to boil water from natural sources before consumption. Water quality is not tested. Drink water taken directly from nature at your own risk.

Waste disposal

Metsähallitus follows the principles of litter-free hiking. Visitors are adviced to bring their own waste out of the area. Read more about hiking without littering (nationalparks.fi).
The nearest recycling points are at the Inari parish or Veskoniemi boat harbours.
Other things to keep in mind
The closest sight is a border point signifying the Treaty of Teusina.
The hut is located in a reindeer herding area, take into account the free-grazing reindeer and keep your dog on a leash.

Safety
Although Finland has a broad network for mobile phones, there are some areas in the park without signal. If this happens try to climb to a higher place or go into an open area. Check the mobile network coverage with your mobile phone operator before your trip.
There are fire alarms at wilderness huts, but we recommend to bring a 9 V battery and/or your own travel fire alarm with you.
