Yeah, they are reindeer herders' cabins. There were no-one there now, I've heard they only use these in the spring when they are gathering the herds to mark the new calves. Kind of remote indeed, there's no road, only a trail they use on ATVs. It's something like 15 km to the nearest road and about 50 km to the closest village, which isn't too bad for how it is in the area. I came from the other side, which is a bit or a lot further depending on which direction you come from and some of it didn't have a trail at all.
The van is on a different part of the route I took, along an old maintenance road called Kalkkoaivintie that was built for WW2 and hasn't really been maintained, but is still drivable on a 4x4.

Nice pics. Are those houses? They are incredibly remote, well by the looks of the photo. The van looks like an appealing spot to spend the night
