Questions & answers
When is Hajk open?
The season starts on May 1 and ends on September 15.
Security
Staying at Hajk should be a special and genuine nature experience. Living in nature can be associated with risks, being in the forest can be dangerous. This means you need to be careful when staying with us. It is important to pay attention to where you put your feet – for example, you can trip on fallen branches or slip on slippery rocks.
There is a first aid kit in the basecamp in case of an accident. For all these types of damage, the guest assumes his/her own risk and responsibility.
Responsibility of the guest
Please read the booking confirmation carefully and let us know if you find any inaccuracies by sending an email to info@hajk.se.
To make your stay with us as good as possible, it is important that you let us know right away if there is anything that does not meet your expectations of us, so that we have a chance to fix the problem.
The right of public access means that you should not disturb or destroy nature. We therefore kindly ask you to respect the place you are in and not to destroy or litter nature. This also means keeping a reasonable noise level while in the forest. For more information on how to behave in nature, see the Finnish Nature Agency.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.

Children at Hajk
The Hajk Experience is designed to give couples and adults traveling together the opportunity to enjoy a wonderful nature experience.
We have carefully selected the most beautiful locations we could find for our camps & hikes, and these locations are often somewhat remote and difficult to access to ensure a secluded and peaceful experience. It is worth noting that this can make it difficult for children to complete the walk. As many of our guests choose to come here to experience the peace and quiet of nature, we encourage everyone to respect and keep a reasonable noise level,
Many of our hiking trails require you to be able to walk at least 17 kilometers. Therefore, we do not consider it appropriate for children under 10 years old to stay with us at Hajk. We of course welcome children under the age of 10, but whether children can manage the hike is the responsibility of the parents.

Accessibility for the disabled
Hajk offers a handicapped accessible tent and a handicapped accessible basecamp. It is important to note that while we strive for accessibility in some parts of our activities, nature itself is not accessible to people with disabilities. Our tent site can be difficult to access for wheelchairs due to a 200 meter hilly path through the forest from the parking lot to the tent and height differences between the ground and the tent. Unfortunately, the hiking trails are also not adapted for wheelchairs.
