Multi-activity holidays in Hetta
This is one of the purest places in Europe, surrounded by an ancient but living culture close to the land. Expect hundreds of kilometres of maintained cross-country ski tracks, a family-friendly downhill ski centre, a snow castle, ice-fishing and snowmobiles to test.
A wonderful family resort
Finns see Hetta as a wonderful family resort, a village where many still leave front doors unlocked. Everything is within walking distance of the downtown hotels, including the Sami nature centre, the downhill ski centre and reindeer farms. Day visits into Sweden or Norway are easy, as are trips to the silver gallery and Sami museum in Kautokeino.
