Holiday Village Valle — Hotel in Northern Lapland

We have spent our new year vacation here with my fried. It was our first trevel to Finnland and I must say it is the best choice to go to Utsjoki Holliday Village. The transfer from Ivalo airport was in time and last apprx. 3,5 hours. The hotel owners have met us by themselves with a glass of sect and gave us all information that we needed to have about our aktivities during the next week. We have lived in a cabin (house) with our own sauna, fireplace, two bedrooms and a kitchen corner. The only thing that was uncomfortable is that they have no double beds, but it was possible to put two separate beds together. The territory consist of the restaurant were we have always had our meals, hotel building, separate cabins (houses) and a small building with all necessary equipment. The nature around is very beautiful and inspirative. The best place to see a Nothern Light. There is a salmon river direkt nearby, you can have a walk along it. The place is very silent at all, only forest with reindeer farm is not far away and also a small village with supermarket and church 5 km from there. We have got 2 friendly guides, who provided us with all equipment we need and information, also they were together with us during some activities. Always ready to help and provide some inreresting facts about the area. The food in the resraurant is on a good level, every day they have different menus, it was nice to have a tasty salmon there and reindeer meat quite oft. The Holiday Village has a family concept, you can feel it already on the first day. The owners spend time with guests with pleasure and tell very interesting stories about their culture and region. There are pretty enough possible activities you can book for every day, the best ones for us were the husky tour and reindeer safari. The dinner in a hut was also very cozy. We recommend it for family vocation as well as for couples and friends. It is an...

First off - we had a very nice, enjoyable stay at holiday village. The guides were nice, the location was great and the dinners were very tasty. We booked a full package through a travel agency with activities almost every day. We enjoyed the snow shoe hike, the sleigh ride, the sami dinner and the snowmobile self drive safari. However, 2 of the actvities didn't meet our expectations, that were based on the description of our travel agency AND the descriptions on the holdiday village Website. For those who might be thinking about booking these activities, here is what didn't fit for us: Meet the Reindeer: the description on the website is condratictionary, where it says 10minutes reindeer ride at one point it says 40 minutes a little bit further down behind "duration" (as of march 2024). Actually it was a 10 minutes walk for us, meaning that a guy walked in front of the reindeer that was pulling our sleigh and guided it around a small area. Photos from older reviews show actual rides through a forest, that was what we would have expected. That being said the rest of the farm visit was good. Husky Safari: The website says duration 4-5 hours with 2 hours husky safari. We were 9 guests and were divided into 2 tours on the husky farm. Our sleigh ride was about 30minutes long which meant 15min per person on the sleigh. We expected at a ride that would at least come close to 2 hours, especially considering the price of...
