The Sollia, 13km southeast of Kirkenes, was originally constructed as a tuberculosis sanatorium and you can see why. The air could scarcely be more pure or the atmosphere more relaxed at this wonderful getaway. The whole family can sweat it out in the sauna and outdoor tub, while children will enjoy communing with the resident huskies. Rooms are simple.
Just below, beside the lake, its Gapahuken restaurant is just as enticing.
Breakfast is 120kr and you can almost see Russia from here.
