A luxury hotel designed around the lavish landscape
This modern, elegant hotel never lets you forget the magical world you're exploring. It's at the top of the fell, blending seamlessly into the landscape, with lots of large windows in case the Northern Lights put on a show. Either way, you can look forward to the endless sky, the other-worldly forest, and the twinkling lights of the town.
Without a doubt, it is an ideal choice for families as well. This hotel offers pure comfort and breath-taking views in its luxurious suites. The glass cabins are an option too, where you might wonder where the sky ends and your dreams begin.
When you arrive at the hotel, you'll be welcomed with a delicious afternoon tea which includes soup, sandwiches, cakes, biscuits, tea, and coffee. Then it's time to sit back, relax and enjoy your stay.
The hotel also has a sauna and hot tub which can be booked for private sessions, with large scenic windows to check out the landscape - there’s barely a spot where you don’t feel part of the magic outside.
The hotel restaurant, Restaurant Kaunis, is where you'll be having breakfast and a 3-course buffet dinner. There's both traditional Finnish dishes and modern cuisines available here, as well as floor to ceiling windows to look out at the snowy wilderness around you. The bar is just next to it and is a cosy place to relax with a drink.
The hotel has impressive sustainability credentials, using geothermal heating in the rooms and main building. It’s also powered by renewable energy.
It’s approximately 1.5km from the main village, the best way to get to the village is 40 minutes walk on the snowy path and taxi back uphill. Pickup for all activities is from the hotel.
