Eräluvat.fi has been renewed – you can now find wilderness destinations and permits in one place! From Metsähallitus, you can get fishing, hunting and off-road traffic permits for state-owned lands and waters. You can also book hut accommodation and pay the fisheries management fee.
Metsähallitus' fishing and hunting areas, shared rental huts, rental huts and saunas are now listed on the Destinations page. Choose the activity that interests you and explore the options! If you already know where you are going, you can search for the destination by name, number or location. Just select the right area and purchase a permit!
You can now find guidelines and services for entrepreneurs under the Entrepreneurs page. Information is available for commercial fishing, nature and fishing tourism as well as safaris. From the same place, you can also log in to the Business Portal.
Users of Metsähallitus wilderness sites observe the Outdoor etiquette. It encourages fishers and hunters to take nature, other people, catches and game into account in all activities.
The descriptions of Metsähallitus' shared rental huts and rental huts have moved from the Luontoon.fi website to the Eräluvat.fi service. In shared rental huts, you can book a bed, while rental huts can be booked entirely for your own use.
