Luxury Lodge – More than an Experience

Luxury travel is all about personalization, and Otava Lodge exemplifies this with its curated range of activities that allow guests to fully immerse themselves in the Arctic wonderland. Whether you’re seeking the thrill of adventure or the serenity of nature, our experiences are designed to cater to your unique preferences.

Here’s a glimpse into the extraordinary experiences that await:

  • Snowmobile Safaris: Feel the rush of Arctic air as you traverse snowy trails on a private snowmobile, discovering breathtaking views and frozen lakes. For an added layer of adventure, try your hand at ice fishing—a quintessential Nordic activity.
  • Reindeer Sleigh Rides: Glide through serene snow-covered forests on a traditional sleigh pulled by majestic reindeer. This tranquil journey is perfect for soaking in Lapland’s enchanting beauty.
  • Husky Sledding Adventures: Bond with a team of eager huskies and take the reins as you race across the Arctic wilderness. Afterward, gather around a campfire in a Lappish hut to hear stories about this time-honored tradition.
  • Relaxation: Experience the traditional ice swimming with our guide, warm up in a sauna and continue the relaxation in your private lodge’s hot tub!

Each day at your luxury lodge offers new opportunities to connect with Lapland’s unique culture and natural wonders. And when night falls, the magic continues!

Equipped with snowshoes and a headlamp, you can join your guide for an evening Aurora hunt or simply relax under the stars, waiting for the Northern Lights to illuminate the sky. Whatever your preference, every experience is tailored to make your journey unforgettable.

A Family-Friendly Luxury Holiday

Traveling with family? We ensure that every member of your group, from the youngest explorers to the seasoned adventurers, feels right at home. The lodge’s thoughtful amenities and activities are designed to make your Arctic getaway both exciting and relaxing for everyone.

The magic of Lapland extends to children, with plenty of opportunities for them to create lasting memories. Outside the Otava lodge, kids can zoom around on mini snowmobiles along a dedicated track or enjoy the thrill of tobogganing down snowy slopes. Inside, there’s no shortage of entertainment, with options like board games, a PlayStation 5, and cozy spaces to relax after a day of adventure.

To ensure a stress-free stay for parents, all our lodges provide all the essentials for young children, including baby cots, highchairs, safety seats, strollers, and baby toboggans. With every detail taken care of, you can focus on enjoying quality time with your loved ones.

The experiences at Otava Lodge are tailored to create moments of joy and wonder for all ages. Share the excitement of husky sledding as you glide through the Arctic wilderness, or meet the Santa Claus privately and make your children’s dream come true!

For families, the lodge strikes the perfect balance between providing opportunities for exploration and offering cozy spaces to unwind together. Whether you’re roasting marshmallows by a campfire or marveling at the starry skies from the hot tub, Otava Lodge ensures your family escape is both magical and memorable.

Culinary Delights in the Heart of the Arctic

Our holidays include a private chef, who will keep your family’s stomaches full!

Start your mornings with a hearty breakfast, prepared just for you, and featuring regional specialties that fuel your day’s adventures. After a day exploring Lapland’s winter wonderland, return to the lodge to savor an exquisite meal in the cozy dining area. Imagine enjoying dishes like smoked salmon, reindeer tenderloin, and wild berries while seated by a crackling fire.

For those seeking unique dining experiences, we offer options that elevate your culinary journey:

  • Traditional Lappish Dining: Step outside to a rustic hut where a meal is cooked over an open fire. Here, you’ll enjoy the authentic flavors of Lapland while listening to tales of the region’s heritage.
  • Ice Restaurant at the SnowHotel: For an otherworldly dining adventure, take a guided tour of the Arctic SnowHotel before sitting down to a multi-course meal in a restaurant crafted entirely from ice and snow. From steaming soups to indulgent chocolate desserts, every bite is as memorable as the setting.

Every culinary moment at our lodges are designed to reflect the region’s rich culture and traditions while providing the ultimate in personalized service. Whether you’re dining under the stars or gathered around a table with loved ones, the meals here are more than just food—they’re an essential part of your luxury lodge experience.
