A peaceful winter holiday away from mass tourism

Our lodges are located in Raanujärvi in Finnish Lapland, approximately one hour from Rovaniemi.

Staying outside the city gives you more privacy, less light pollution and direct access to forests, frozen lakes and quiet winter landscapes. Instead of travelling back to a busy hotel after each activity, you can return to your own cabin, warm up in the sauna and enjoy the silence around you.

Rovaniemi’s services and attractions remain within reach, but your accommodation provides a calmer and more nature-focused way to experience Lapland.

Northern Lights from your accommodation

Our location offers dark skies and considerably less light pollution than central Rovaniemi. During the aurora season, you may be able to see the Northern Lights from the surroundings of your lodge when the sky is clear and solar conditions are favourable.

Hidden Aurora Hut is specifically positioned towards the northern sky, while our lakeside accommodations offer open views and easy access to outdoor observation.

Northern Lights are a natural phenomenon and can never be guaranteed. Staying in a dark and peaceful location, however, allows you to look for them without always joining a crowded excursion.

Our approach is personal and small-scale. We want guests to experience Lapland with space, calm and local knowledge rather than as part of mass tourism.
