A Lakeside Lodge on Lake Inari

On the shore of Lake Inari in Finnish Lapland, Wilderness Hotel Inari is an Arctic lodge with aurora cabins, log cabins and chalets, a panorama restaurant on the lake and a wide range of guided year-round adventures.

The northern lights above the largest lake in Lapland

Wilderness Hotel Inari sits on the shore of Lake Inari, the largest lake in Finnish Lapland, above the Arctic Circle and about a 45-minute transfer from Ivalo airport. Accommodation runs from the Aurora Cabin, with a heated opening glass roof directly above the bed for watching the northern lights and stars, to spacious log cabins, Arctic chalets and wilderness rooms. Dining centres on Restaurant Ukko, a panorama restaurant on the lake serving Lappish and traditional Finnish cooking, a la carte in the warmer months and buffet in winter, with an on-site bar and full board on most packages. The lodge has a rustic Arctic feel of wooden beams and antler chandeliers, built around nature rather than a spa. Guided experiences are extensive year-round, from aurora camps, snowmobiling and hunts by car or heated sledge in winter, alongside husky and reindeer safaris and a Santa visit, to fishing, midnight-sun hikes and Sami cultural days in summer. Part of the Wilderness Hotels group, it suits couples, families and adventure travellers who want the northern lights and Lapland experiences on Lake Inari.

A note on experience

This suits you if you want the northern lights and Lapland experiences on Lake Inari.

In summer there is fishing, midnight-sun hikes and Sami culture to explore. It is a nature-led lodge rather than a spa hotel. Good for couples, families and adventure travellers.
