The adult only Wilderness Hotel Nangu enjoys a serene location, on the southern shores of lake Inari, surrounded by nature. Owned by the Lappalainen family, the property is one of four Finnish style resorts which form part of the Wilderness chain and offers high quality boutique accommodation in a remote area of Finnish Lapland.
The resort consists of luxury log cabins scattered around the grounds; two separate log buildings where you will find the Wilderness and Superior rooms, each decorated in Lappish style and featuring thick wooden log walls; Aurora huts on the lake (a unique experience) and the main building, the heart of the resort, which houses the restaurant, lounge and reception area.
This is truly the place for those looking for peace, relaxation, spectacular views, an authentic feel of Lapland and for exploring the Lappish wilderness. The low light pollution makes this a perfect choice for a sighting of the Northern Lights (autumn and winter) whilst summer brings the midnight sun.
Experiences are available all year round but winter, which begins in November until mid-April, brings average temperatures which vary between -10˚C and -25˚C allowing for activities which include snowmobiling, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, dog sledding, a visit to a nearby reindeer farm and ice fishing.
The nearest town is Ivalo (c.20 minutes by car) which has a supermarket, banks, petrol stations, shops and restaurants. Due to its remoteness the property is located far away from public transportation links and therefore transfers or car rental (depending on season) is recommended.
