Roger,

As you have understood, having access to a cabin makes all the difference:
better sleep, protection if it rains. It makes the wilderness "liveable" for
the "not so die hard" ones.

On top of the quoted price, one needs to add flight, food and permit but
this sounds like good value.
Anyway, we will see what you decide in the end.

Hum, yep one does not like the crowds ; however we could get there
before
they do (midsummer?)...

Another, and more and more appealing, option is starting to become my
first
choice.
curious to know what that one is!...

Well, Jerome.

I have located a cabin that is possible to rent. This cabin is situated
high, high up River Laisan.
A heli flight would be necessary, and the cabin will only take 5 of us,
the
rest are going to have to use tents.
The good part about this is that we would have access to a kitchen with
gas
stove, running water from a small creek to wash in and a sauna.
The price would end up at something like US$300 per person depending on
the
number of attendees.

I'm also working on locating and negotiating with the owners of an even
nicer cabin (12 beds).
Anyway, since it is not legal to build cabins that high up in the
mountains
anymore (has not been so for more than 60 years, unless you are of Saami
origin and then with strong restrictions) the only ones to try for are the
ones already existing. I know of three such cabins in an area of about 500
square kilometers, and one of those is not for rent.

Still working on other options too, but feeling that I need to reach a
decision.
