Wilderness Hotel Nellim – Tailor Made
- Details
Details
Nellim has been one of our most popular destinations for over a decade, and for so many reasons. The location of the hotel is wild and wonderful, the Aurora record and viewing opportunities are exceptional and the accommodation range is fantastic. The activities on offer also showcase the absolute best of Arctic Finland.
Designing your own holiday at Nellim means that you can set the duration and pace of your trip and focus in on the key activities and experiences you would most like to enjoy.
Tailoring a holiday gives you great flexibility. Perhaps you are travelling in a group where people have different priorities, or maybe you have been to the region before and know what you want to focus on. It is also a great way to arrange your holiday if you are working to a budget big or small. Regardless, our Aurora Travel Experts will be on hand to help you plan the ideal holiday from beginning to end, using their first-hand knowledge of this wonderful location.
You can choose the exact duration and departure date of your stay at Nellim (a minimum of three nights is required and definitely recommended) and then you simply add in the activities from the individually priced range which is detailed in the Extras section of the holiday page. There are wonderful experiences to be had here, during both day and night.
When it comes to Northern Lights hunting, Nellim really excels itself with a range of innovative Aurora hunting options. Guests can spend the night in a unique Aurora Bubble or Aurora Kota, hunt the lights on foot, by car or by snowmobile, or visit one of Nellim's Aurora Camps which are all situated in prime Northern Lights viewpoints. Even if you arent out on an Aurora activity, you have excellent Northern Lights viewing potential right next to the hotel. Just a few minutes walk from the main hotel building, you can be standing on the vast expanse of frozen Lake Inari, gazing at the dark sky.
During the day, of course, all the key Arctic activities are available. You can choose to go dog sledding, snowmobiling, snowshoeing or cross-country skiing. You could try your hand at ice fishing or perhaps visit a local reindeer farm. The options are wonderfully varied. In between activities, you can enjoy a walk to the nearby log church, go sledging, relax in one of the saunas (a real Finnish tradition) or perhaps hire cross-country skis or snowshoes to enjoy the local trails independently.
Your Aurora Travel Expert will be happy to advise you on the best activities and accommodation options for your holiday.

Accommodation

Wilderness Hotel Nellim is owned by our good friends Jouko and Mari Lappalainen. Nellim was their first hotel (they now also own the delights of Nangu, Muotka and Wilderness Hotel Inari) and is now renowned as an Aurora destination. It will always hold a special place in our hearts for being the first place many of us saw the Northern Lights. The hotel has been upgraded over the years and now has a wide range of accommodation options including rooms, suites, log cabins and unforgettable Aurora Cabins and Bubbles (see the ‘Personalise’ section for details) which are all within a short walk of the main reception and restaurant building. A tiny village, Nellim is a remote spot close to the shores of Lake Inari and surrounded by incredible wilderness, providing perfectly dark skies, ideal for Aurora viewing. Hotel facilities
