Lokala tips
If you’re looking for a quiet moment away from the Christmas festivities, take a short walk along the Ounasjoki River behind Hotel Metsähirvas. The snow-covered trees and silence of the Lapland wilderness offer a magical and serene winter atmosphere — and on a clear night, it’s one of the best local spots to catch the Northern Lights.
