Ahkun Tupa is a hidden gem nestled by the bank of the river Lemmenjoki, offering a true taste of Finnish wilderness. The rustic cottages provide a cozy retreat, complete with a private sauna for ultimate relaxation after a day of outdoor adventures in the national park. The hosts' hospitality truly shines as they share insights into Sami culture and offer authentic experiences like hand-feeding the reindeer right outside your door.The lack of light pollution makes this spot a prime location for witnessing the dance of the Northern Lights, while the proximity to skiing routes ensures ample opportunities for winter sports enthusiasts. The fully licensed restaurant serves up homemade delicacies, including reindeer dishes that are a must-try for an authentic taste of Lapland.Our stay was made even more memorable by the friendly hosts who went above and beyond to make us feel at home. The serene surroundings, with the frozen lake just a stone's throw away, allowed us to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of city life and truly immerse ourselves in nature. From the peaceful evenings under the starlit sky to the warm and inviting atmosphere of the cottages, Ahkun Tupa left a lasting impression on us.Whether you're seeking a romantic getaway or a fun-filled adventure with friends, Ahkun Tupa offers a unique blend of comfort, nature, and hospitality. A perfect retreat for those who appreciate the beauty of simplicity and the magic of the Arctic wilderness.
