    Perfect location surrounded by nature and away from the city, there are snowshoes and skis that can be used for free. Some activities, such as snowmobiles, have the starting point at the same hotel, since they share an adventure...

    Mikko, Singhild and Fabio were welcoming and very friendly. They told us about the area and things to do. Went out of their way to help us and others.
