Finish Lapland Experience

Experience the delights of Finnish Lapland in excellent accommodation, off-the-beaten-track, but with activities available right by the hotel door.

Our programme is based in the small Lappish village of Luosto, 130 km north from Rovaniemi on the Arctic Circle.

That extraordinary spectacle of the northern sky, the Northern Lights, is never far away in this location, and features strongly in our hotel's accommodation and layout: every bedroom has special windows for viewing the colourful light display. Even the ambience of the restaurant is enlivened by panoramic windows facing north.
