Other names:: What is a Laavu? Laavu / Laavut: Translates to a “Lean-to Shelter.” In Finland these are basic shelters that have three sides closed to block off wind / rain / snow, while 1 side is open. The open side usually faces a campfire. Most Laavu will have a woodpile, axe and a saw you can use. They are all free. All of them you can use to sleep overnight in a sleeping bag. There are 1,000s of Laavut in Finland. Almost every hiking trail has one. Most people use them on a day hike. They hike to them, grill some sausage and go back. Hikers on longer trips will use them for shelters in bad weather. You can sit in them, lay down, throw all your gear in them to protect against the weather. Some people will sleep in them or bring a tent to sleep around the Laavu.
