AMAZINNG EXPERIENCE !!

+ The house is incredibly well located. It is close to the airport and the city of Rovaniemi, yet it offers a wild setting that immerses you in nature. The view is simply exceptional and makes you want to admire it for hours.

Everything is in place for a magical time with family or friends. There is plenty of space, and the magnificent living room lets you admire the frozen lake while staying cozy in front of a warm fireplace.

The exterior is just as spectacular. You can build a fire near a small wooden shelter, creating a warm and convivial atmosphere even at -6°C, under a starry sky.

And what about the owners? They are incredibly kind people who offer experiences off the beaten path, far from the usual tourist circuits.

The house has two saunas, including an outdoor traditional one, offering a unique experience with the possibility of plunging into the lake at 2°C, under the watchful eye of Sari (the owner and soon-to-be guide!).

Not to mention the ice fishing activity: after departing by snowmobile, we found ourselves in the middle of the ice, drilling holes to fish. An ingenious idea was to build a fire on a sled to grill some freshly caught fish and other meats. Sari and her husband really thought of everything and gave us an exceptionally intense and unforgettable experience. Many thanks to them and i recommend to make activities with them!

My friends and I wholeheartedly recommend this place, and something tells me this won’t be our last visit!

- With the cold, the Garage and Camp Fire floors were frozen. It might be a good idea to thaw them out to avoid to slide.

Dreamhouse with Northern Lights

+ The house is a dream 🥰 We spent 5 wonderful days at Chalet Norva. Everything in this house is just perfect; it's furnished with love and taste. Everything you need is there. We were incredibly lucky to see the Northern Lights on 3 nights. Sari and Henk are super nice hosts. We went on a wonderful snowshoe hike with them, where they cooked a delicious meal for us. We would have loved to stay longer. If we ever come back to Finland, we'll definitely stay at Chalet Norva again.
