A light lunch around a cozy open fire on the farm fuels us for the return snowmobile ride. The afternoon is yours to enjoy the hotel’s family-friendly facilities.

Situado en lo alto de una colina, este enclave privilegiado te regala vistas de postal: infinitos bosques nevados, lagos congelados y una atmósfera de cuento que solo puede encontrarse en el corazón del Ártico. Gracias a su ubicación y altitud únicas, Iso-Syöte ofrece un paisaje transformado por la nieve, donde los árboles se visten de blanco como esculturas vivas, creando un entorno natural absolutamente mágico. Aquí, cada jornada es una aventura: puedes explorar el entorno conduciendo motos de nieve a través de senderos congelados, deslizarte en trineos tirados por huskies entre bosques encantados, caminar con raquetas sobre nieve virgen o lanzarte a las pistas de esquí. Y si prefieres algo más pausado, nada como relajarte junto al fuego en una cálida cabaña de madera, disfrutando del silencio polar y el cielo estrellado... con suerte, incluso la aurora boreal hará su aparición para completar el momento perfecto. Este es el destino ideal para quienes buscan experiencias auténticas, memorables y llenas de magia. En especial, para las familias que desean vivir juntas una Navidad diferente, lejos de lo cotidiano y más cerca que nunca de la ilusión.
