Tenon Eräkievari

Northern Lapland


In a great spot 8.5km north of town up the Utsjoki road on the banks of the Tenojoki, this peaceful property makes a good base for river fishing. Rooms and cabins all share bathrooms; there's an on-site cafe serving local delicacies like roast salmon and reindeer stew (mains €24 to €32). It often hosts events, so advance reservations are required.
