Ounasvaara Tours and Activities

The food was a highlight! Breakfast and dinner were very tasty and well presented. The culinary food workshop was amazing, the chef was a great teacher to learn classic Finnish dishes. The downside was the ‘off season’. Staff frequently said ‘something wasn’t available because of the off season’. 40 mins out of town and lunch was only available as a room order. The shuttle service was significantly reduced and a taxi in/out was an expensive trip. While in their ‘peak’ season this would be a must to visit and stay. More awareness on the website and from staff beforehand to plan accordingly would be of benefit. A beautiful and tranquil escape for the solo or couple travelling North Finland.

Very nice and clean cabin in a lovely location

The best part of our Lapland trip was staying at this house. It truly had everything we could have wished for — a sauna, beautiful snowy surroundings, peaceful forest views, fully equipped kitchen, and even drying machines, which were extremely useful. The two-bedroom layout was excellent. One of the bedrooms, located under the roof, offered a stunning view of the aurora — such a magical experience. The kota was also a lovely highlight, especially on the night we went out and were lucky enough to see the northern lights. The staff were incredibly kind and helpful throughout our stay, making everything smooth and comfortable. The location is quiet and relaxing, yet still convenient if you have a car and want to go into the town center. Breakfast was simple but good, and we really enjoyed our easy mornings over the four nights we stayed. The kids especially loved the sledges provided — they had so much fun playing in the snow. We would absolutely love to come back again!
