Nestled in the heart of Suomussalmi, a full-service hotel and spa complex invites travelers to experience the authentic soul of the Kainuu region. Here, enchanting northern nature, versatile winter activities, and relaxing wellness services blend seamlessly together, offering an unforgettable escape from the everyday.

Warm Kainuu hospitality welcomes guests to a resort boasting a total of 150 vuodepaikkaa (beds). The hotel’s 70 rooms range from cozy standard options to luxurious suites featuring their own private saunas. To ensure a carefree stay, room rates always include a hearty breakfast along with daily access to the adjoining spa and gym.

Local Flavors and Holistic Wellness
A memorable journey is completed by the hotel’s on-site à la carte restaurant, open six evenings a week. The menu is thoughtfully crafted to honor local Kainuu flavors, bringing traditional ingredients to the modern plate with respect and creativity.

For rejuvenation of body and mind, the hotel provides direct indoor access to the Kiannon Kuohut spa. Surrounded by beautiful nature right in the town center, this cozy wellness oasis offers year-round refreshment:

Pools & Saunas: A 4-lane 25-meter fitness pool, a children’s pool with two water slides, hydromassage, jacuzzi, and cold-water pools, alongside traditional Finnish saunas and a herbal steam room.

For the Active: A well-equipped gym, sports hall rentals, and a state-of-the-art golf simulator providing a unique golfing experience every single day of the year.

Embrace the Elements: Guests can take a refreshing swim in the natural waters of Jalonuoma or enjoy a thrilling ice-swimming dip in the winter.

A Winter Wonderland Right on Your Doorstep
Suomussalmi in winter is a true paradise for snowmobiling, cross-country skiing, and nature enthusiasts. The adventure begins right in the hotel yard, with immediate access to snowshoeing terrain and a well-maintained 30 km ski trail network, nearly half of which is illuminated. In spring, a spectacular "sun trail" is opened on the frozen ice of Lake Kiantajärvi, offering breathtaking lake views under the late-winter sun.

For snowmobilers, the setting is unbeatable. Drivers can hit the trails straight from the hotel parking lot, accessing over 500 km of groomed routes (with approximately 400 km mechanically maintained). Whether charting a course around the famous Lake Kiantajärvi or riding all the way to Hossa, the snowy vistas are bound to take your breath away.

For a touch of northern magic, a visit to the local Korpiporo reindeer farm is highly recommended. Here, guests can meet the reindeer, enjoy a traditional sleigh ride, feed the animals, and purchase authentic reindeer crafts as souvenirs, all while listening to the farm host share fascinating insights into the reindeer-herding lifestyle. Snowshoes are available for rent at the reception, where the friendly staff is always happy to help you tailor your perfect arctic itinerary.
