Enjoying good life

Kemijärvi is a small northern town, where the Arctic Circle runs along the peaceful lakeland of Lapland. Traffic jams do not reach here. In the open landscape, by the clear waters, happiness is a natural state of being. It reaches you unnoticed and brings a smile to your face.

We invite and welcome you to the village to experience the culture and set the table with the bounty of the wilderness. And after the day’s adventures are adventured, we’ll tuck you into bed in a place where the traffic noise won’t disturb!
