Muotka Wilderness Lodge

Of Mari and Jouko Lappaleinen’s four Wilderness Hotels, Wilderness Hotel Muotka is probably the most romantic. The intimate feel of this idyllic retreat, nestled deep in Lapland’s Taiga Forest, makes it perfect for couples or anyone wanting to leave their cares far behind and immerse themselves in wild, glorious nature.

The balance could not be better – your own beautiful and luxurious cabin hideaway, and as much exhilarating, invigorating wilderness adventure as you want.

On the edge of a national park, Muotka is one of the best locations in Finland for northern lights hunters. Venture out in the dark under the stars, or stay wrapped up in your cozy aurora cabin or panoramic log cabin. All the accommodation here is designed to give spectacular views if the night skies light up for you.

By day, Mari and family will offer you a taste of adventure that only Finnish Lapland can provide. The family know this magical landscape better than anyone, and invite you to try everything from reindeer herding and cross country skiing to husky sledding and ice fishing in awe-inspiring surroundings.

Back in the main hotel building, you’ll find roaring log fires, fabulous saunas and superb menus. Enjoy wholesome, locally-sourced food, cooked to perfection and served with a smile.
