Muotka Wilderness Hotel

Muotka Wilderness Lodge is set deep in the taiga forest, just under an hour from Finland’s northernmost airport, Ivalo.

Offering cosy log cabins and aurora cabins with glass ceilings as well as a number of standard rooms, Muotka has something to suit every traveller to this arctic region.

Whether you’re looking for a romantic snowy getaway, an action-packed adventure holiday or just the chance to relax and enjoy the quiet, Muotka Wilderness Lodge is the perfect base during your time in the north of Finland.

Situated next to Urho Kekkonen National Park, Muotka is close to plenty of winter activities - including Saariselkä ski resort, which is only a fifteen-minute drive from the hotel, along with snowmobiling and husky safaris, and plenty of other options for adventurous travellers - and also far from any light pollution.

The darkness makes the night sky more stunning than ever, with thousands of bright stars winking down on clear nights, and the chance to see the beautiful Aurora Borealis if you’re lucky.
