Harriniva is located south of Muonio village, near the Pallas Yllästunturi National Park in Finland and is an area of outstanding natural beauty. Its situation, well north of the Arctic Circle, is an ideal spot from which to view the Aurora Borealis or Northern Lights.

Harriniva Holiday Centre is a family run business providing a high standard of accommodation, facilities and cuisine along with a programme of winter safaris in beautiful unspoilt nature. The resort has a sauna and spa area, 'Aurora Wellness', offering a broad selection of body and facial treatments.  There are two outdoor hot tubs overlooking the river, two steam baths, an ice hole (for those who dare!) and, of course (after all this is Finland), a full sauna department.

The main Lappish activities - snowmobile safari and husky safari are included - however there is plenty of free time to relax or choose additional activities. Plus you have the option to spend the first night of your stay in the hotel's Snow Igloo - retaining your hotel room just in case!

A real treat for those who want to combine winter activities with relaxation.
