FINLAND - LAPLAND
HARRINIVA WILDERNESS CENTRE
HARRINIVA WILDERNESS CENTRE IN FINNISH LAPLAND
Quite simply, we love this place and judging by the feedback, so do our clients. Situated 230kms north of the Arctic Circle, this wilderness hotel combines Scandinavian style accommodation with the warmest of welcomes and a great range of winter activities. Located on the banks of the Muonio River (cross it when it's frozen and you find yourself in Sweden) the hotel's unforgettable safari programmes will take you into the very heart of Lapland's winter wilderness. HOLIDAY CHOICES
We offer a wide range of daily and longer safaris here in North-West Lapland. You can design your own itinerary using our tailor-made facility or take part in the ever popular Winter Wilderness Adventure featuring dogs, snowmobiles and reindeer. The following holidays are featured on the next few pages.
MULTI-ACTIVITY TAILOR-MADE WINTER ADVENTURE DESIGN YOUR OWN 6 NIGHTS ANY DURATION
Most of the rooms accommodate 2 or 3 people but there are some larger bedrooms suitable for families. The hotel has 3 cosy dining rooms (including one with a log fire) and a recently built pub, ideal for those pre-dinner aperitifs. Naturally, this being Finland, there are two large saunas and a family sauna within the main building. For a bit of pampering, the Aurora Wellness Centre offers therapies such as massages, dry cupping, peat treatments and a variety of facials. On the riverbank there are 2 hot jacuzzis, 2 steam baths, an ice hole (for the very brave!) and a relaxation room. There is even a husky farm just 2 minutes walk from the hotel entrance.
WILDERNESS CABINS On our Winter Wilderness Adventure with dogs, snowmobiles and reindeer, you will spend a night in a wilderness cabin. Despite being rather basic (no electricity or running water) they are comfortable and cosy, especially once dinner is cooking over the open fire. The cabins are generally so remote that there is little or no light pollution creating the best possible chance of seeing a spectacular display of the Aurora Borealis. Despite their far-flung locations, there is always a sauna in the cabins - after all, this is Scandinavia!
