Arctic Raja Inn, Next to Norwegian Border

Decent accommodation close to the arctic wilderness with good availability from the hosts. Needs some attention on cleanliness, common spaces like shower seemed not cleaned for a while. Leaky tube in the common toilet. Some silverfish (insect) were present in our room.

We came looking for peace and snow, and that's what we found. the accommodation is located right on the river bank, surrounded by a snowy forest. the area is quiet and peaceful and you can explore the entire small village by foot. We went snowshoeing in a quiet forest. after the trip, we got to know Finnish sauna culture and even went to dip in the snow. at the end of the sauna, we were lucky and saw the northern lights from the hotel yard. Next to the hotel is a big supermarket where we ate ribs and a pub where we enjoyed hot cocoa. We recommend it to everyone who wants to relax, away from the hustle and bustle and experience winter.
