(closed 9.10-21.11.2026)
- Winter and high season prices are different.
- Wake up to pure Arctic air and endless river views.
Step into a traditional Finnish sauna with panoramic views to the river.
Then do what Finns have always done: roll in the snow or jump into an ice hole. Yes, really. - Share stories with locals. Nature all around you, yet the city is just 1.2 km away. One price. One stay. Everything included.
Accommodation, snow, silence, Sauna, the river, ice- swimming, Fire, Christmas spirit, New Years and Local life. Hopefully Aurora Borealis, you never know (already many times this winter at our area, see the photos).This is not just a place to stay.
This is Lapland as it is lived. 🌌

Kaksi kertaa oon käynyt kyllä se on hyvä. Miinusta siitä että ei ole yleistä jääkaappia.

Tämä leirintäalue sijaitsee käytännössä Rovaniemen keskustassa. Olin sesongin ulkopuolella (24. lokakuuta) tila-autolla ja leirintäalue oli kiinni, mutta kun soitin johtajalle, hän tarjosi minulle saapuvani ja aloittavan kytkennän joka tapauksessa ja hän tuli klo 20.00 maksamaan, jolloin kylpyhuone (ilmainen kuuma suihku) ja keittiö olivat käytettävissä. Kehua!
