Your Destination —
Whatever your wish list of winter activities Iso-Syote's unique position in the southern part of Lapland provides them all, from high speed snowmobiling to reindeer caravanning; from cross country to alpine skiing; and from snow shoeing to husky mushing. Ideal for a couple who want to try everything or a family whose every member has a different agenda.
Sitting on top of Lapland's southernmost fell is the village of Iso-Syote cloaked throughout winter in deep white snow and with breathtaking views of glistening pine covered valleys by day and, if the Gods are with you, the Northern Lights by night.
Your Hotel —
At its heart, the Iso-Syote Hotel with its panoramic restaurant serving up Sami cuisine, swimming pool, saunas and bar with gregarious Finns, offers an Aga like comfort at the end of a day's safari-ing whether by husky, snowmobile or reindeer.
During a stay here you can turn your hand to any number of snow adventures: snowmobiling through fells, across frozen tundra and lakes; day long husky mushing in the surrounding National Park, hunting for the elusive Aurora; ice fishing; kick sledding & caravanning by reindeer.
And of course you may want to ski! Running down from the top of the fjell by the side of the hotel are no less than 12 illuminated ski slopes; both half and quarter pipes; snowboard park; children's slopes and sledding hill: facilities in other words for just about every level of experience. So you could stay here just for the skiing or extend your stay to add some on.
