This apartment sits in a log-built rowhouse in Suomutunturi tourist center, above the Arctic Circle in Kemijärvi. It is a compact, practical base for a winter stay, with a combined living room and kitchen, a renovated kitchen from 2022, and a heat-storing fireplace for cosy evenings.
Downstairs, there is one bedroom with a double bed, and the spacious low loft with a sloping roof adds extra sleeping space on mattresses. The apartment also has an electric sauna, a washing room with toilet, and the kind of simple layout that works well for a small family or a group of friends.
Outdoors, the setting is all about easy access to snow and open space. The ski centre and Hotel Suomutunturi are about 2.5 km away, and cross-country tracks start just 50 m from the apartment. Suomutunturi offers 70 km of pistes, including 17 km of lit trails, and there are several ski resorts within a 100 km radius.
For days off the slopes, Kemijärvi offers fishing and swimming opportunities about 5 km away, while the nearest shop is in Joutsijärvi, 17 km from the apartment. Two national parks, Pyhä-Luosto and Salla, are within an hour’s drive, and the closest attraction is the Salpalinja bunker in Joutsijärvi.
