Other things to keep in mind

The hut is located in a reindeer herding area, take into account the free-grazing reindeer and keep your dog on a leash.
Firewood may only be used for heating the hut, not for outdoor fires.

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.
