Most of our cabins are located off the beaten track. This can make it a bit challenging to get to where the tracks begins. Troms Turlag offers no transportation - this must be arranged by the trekkers themselves.
- Local buses within the region of Troms:
https://www.tromskortet.no/ - Bus to Kilpisjärvi between mid June and September (remember the one hour time difference between Norway and Finland)
https://www.eskelisen.fi/timetables-and-routes/ - Taxi might be advisory from where the bus routes stops. Look up the local taxi operators on https://www.gulesider.no/
- Renting a car is also an option
