Mikko & team
Your winter adventures start here
Meet the huskies, explore snowy forests or search for the Northern Lights. Pure Lapland activities start right at Metsähirvas, so you spend less time waiting for transfers and more time enjoying the experiences you came to Lapland for.
Ask us about winter clothing and outdoor equipment rental.
A special place, yours to explore
Explore snowy grounds, gather around an open fire or pause in our outdoor shelter. When ice conditions allow, walk on the frozen Kemijoki River; ask our team about safe routes first. Here, Lapland’s changing light and Arctic conditions set the pace. Slow down, relax and let the quiet of nature help you unwind. Our private beach and riverfront are reserved for staying guests. After dark, look for the Northern Lights above the river when skies and conditions are right.
Good food. A seat by the fire.
Enjoy a meal at Restaurant Saihu, a drink at the bar or a seat by the open fireplace in our lobby. Come in from the cold, share stories from your day and plan tomorrow’s adventures.
