Wilderness accommodations

Huotinniemi

Oulangan Maja

These wilderness accommodations are well suited for groups. They are located adjacent to Oulanka National Park – immersed in nature, far from noise and hustle. Both of these locations are reachable by snowmobiles or snowshoes in winter, and during the snow-less season on foot or via the Oulanka river. Both of the locations can host either one or two night wilderness trips. These trips focus on wilderness skills, team work, and handling the outdoor elements with the lead of a guide. 

Huotinniemi

Huotinniemi provides a true wilderness experience. Without running water or electricity, this accommodation is perfect for those seeking peace and joy from simple things. The sauna is heated with wood, and water is fetched from the Oulanka river. 

Oulangan Maja

Oulangan Maja provides the perfect getaway enhanced with basic utilities, such as running water and electricity. Although not as primitive as Huotinniemi, Oulangan Maja offers an immersive nature experience.

Restaurant Kontioluola

Semi-underground restaurant

Kontioluola

The charming atmosphere, the candles and the soft music create a cosy and at the same time majestic setting for a pleasant evening.

Kontioluola, or the Bear´s cave, is a half hidden forest restaurant in the middle of a beautiful old spruce forest and about seven kilometers from Ruka center.

The restaurant is the ideal setting for wonderful and luxurious dinner parties, celebrations, Christmas parties and even weddings.

The restaurant has seats for 130 people, but also groups of 50 are very welcome and it doesn´t feel too spacious.

There is space for a band and in the middle, you can open up the dance floor.

The building has air conditioning, indoor toilets and meeting technology (internet connection, a large screen, a data projector and wireless microphones).

The minimum size for groups is 20 people. For smaller groups we recommend Iisakki Restaurant.
