Hannukuru's sauna is a demanding wilderness destination. The sauna is not accessible during the thaw. The sauna is located halfway along the Hetta–Pallas summer trail in Pallas-Yllästunturi National Park. In spring, access may be possible via a maintained ski trail, but at other times, reaching it requires good navigation skills due to demanding and unpredictable weather conditions, with only a few hours of daylight during winter. There are an open wilderness hut and two shared rental huts of Hannukuru near the sauna.
