Overview

On the shores of the Juutua River and close to Inari village, Wilderness Hotel Juutua offers comfortable accommodation amidst beautiful scenery, as well as award winning cuisine, a range of activities and the chance to witness the elusive northern lights.

Just over 260km north of the Arctic Circle, a short distance from the sami village of Inari and only 40 minutes from Ivalo airport, Wilderness Hotel Juutua lies in a beautiful riverside setting. It is the newest property of Mari and Jouko Lappalainen, owners of the popular resorts of Nellim, Muotka, Inari and Nangu, bringing their portfolio to five.

Flowing into Lake Inari, the Juutua river, makes for a picturesque setting and provides the backdrop for different activities including husky safaris, snowmobiling, snowshoeing and ice-fishing. Like its sister-properties, the location is ideal for aurora watching should they appear.

There is a choice of different breaks which include full board and offer a range of inclusive activities. The remote location also provides a great opportunity to hopefully see the northern lights.
