Holiday in Lapland, tailormade

This tailor-made holiday is all about small-scale, genuine experiences and discovery. We take you away from tour groups and tourist areas, inviting you to explore, be inspired by the winter landscape and untouched nature, and take part in the local culture.

Accommodation is in small village guesthouse, far off the beaten tourist track. With a wide range of activities and flexible approach in designing your programme, your needs and interests will be well catered for. Let us know if you have any special requests and our team will do the best to arrange for them.

Personal and reliable service from your hosts and guides, authentic experiences of the local culture and nature, the time and space for well-being and relaxation, and, of course, respect and care for nature and the community we are a part of, is fundamental to all that we offer.

Accommodation: The retreat guesthouse is located in a small village, well off the beaten tourist track, surrounded by expansive forests, pristine lakes and mighty, untouched rivers. The guesthouse is a timber building dating from the 1920’s which has been renovated with environmentally sustainable living in mind. There are six simple, yet elegant and comfortable, double rooms with shared or private bathrooms and sitting areas. There is a dining hall, a spacious group gathering room with a fireplace, and quiet corners for reflection and relaxation. It’s possible to rent the entire house for your private use or to rent just one of the bedrooms. The guesthouse provides a calm and peaceful atmosphere and fits in well with the surrounding nature and community.

Cuisine: Meals and snacks are freshly prepared with the highest quality, organic and local ingredients available. We strive to create meals that build and balance the body and satisfy the senses. Root vegetables, grains and pulses form the basis of most meals. Small amounts of imported produce add variety. Coffee, tea and chocolate are fair-trade. Occasionally, we offer local wild meat or fish. We happily accommodate those with special diets with creatively prepared, fresh food.

Organic produce: Meals at the retreat guesthouse are lovingly prepared with over 90% organic ingredients. The guesthouse has its own organic garden which provides herbs and a portion of the root vegetables used in the kitchen. Grown under the midnight sun, the herbs and vegetables are full of great flavour and high in life energy.
