Wilderness Hotel Nellim

Top choice in Northern Lapland


At this wonderfully remote lakeside property, the pick of the options are the 'aurora bubbles': perspex-domed cabins where you can watch the spectacle of the aurora borealis from the warmth of your bed from September to mid-April. Year-round there are timber lodge rooms, log cabins and self-catering apartments. The buffet-only restaurant and bar serves craft cocktails and beers.

Activities range from husky sledding to snowmobiling.
