It take ~2h walk to get there from the Ski resort's car park. Not to steep (~600m+).
Signal service is not available there. They only accept cash. It is possible to sleep there in individual rooms. Camp nearby.
It's a great initiation walk. Kids friendly (15k way and back though).
They have beers and nice lunch. They don't take credit cards and the location is great.

During winter there is a winter shack where you can find wood to burn a heater, cuttlery, water and bank beds.
