Giellajohka

Had an amazing time staying. 10/10 will recommend

Tldr: Fantastic food. Fantastic staff. Super room. 100% coming back. The attitude of the staff is super-friendly with a Finnish flavour. The venue itselleen is very clean. Food is brilliant. Breakfast (buffet) is worth it. You shouldn’t drive any further. Paradise.

I'm here now. What can I say ... The staff, super friendly, from Anita to Jouni and all the rest. Very helpful and always smiling. The location, wow!! If you want an epic wilderness to do some adventures, then Giellajohka is your place. I've been snowshoe trekking which was exhilarating. Today I went ice fishing with Samu a guide from Giellajohka, was like therapy for me. So calming sitting on a frozen lake catching loads of fish after the holes were drilled through the ice. Then Giellajohka kitchen cooked the fish for me when I got back. Brilliant! Northern Lights - 2 nights I've stayed here, 2 immense Aurora shows both nights. They even have a teepee with wood fire to keep you warm when you watch the show. Food - They have excellent facilities and kitchens to cook your own. But I booked breakfast, which is a lovely filling buffet. I also have reindeer soup every evening, it's tremendous. Activities - Lots to do, I'm doing snowmobiling tomorrow, then cross country skiing Wednesday. Also gonna do the traditional hot then ice Finnish sauna. They also have a reindeer farm. So glad I was recommended here. I'll post a few pics as well. But really, there's a reason Giellajohka gets top reviews. Brilliant please, it's like therapy for me, the calm and silence, at one with nature. Love it!
