The best hotels Laponie

This station no longer belongs to the STF network but to the owner of the beautiful Hellsten Hotel in Stockholm. Comfort has been improved and hotel standard rooms have been added to the dormitories and hostel style rooms. Two large Falun redwood buildings planted on the banks of a tumultuous river and a magical vastness... Prices remain affordable, and the place is just as busy. It is a strategic crossing point for any hiker. We stop there gladly, for a night or two, to recharge our batteries, surrounded by nature and nothing else.

This large white house is one of the only options for staying in the village and is right at the edge of the road, easily recognisable with its "Information" sign near the porch. It houses the tourism office.

Like most Lapland towns, Alta is surrounded by beautiful nature. Its location makes it an almost obligatory stopover, so it's ideal to stay as close to nature and the river as possible. Just outside the town in the direction of Kautokeino, this campsite rents small chalets and double, triple and quadruple rooms, basic but functional! Reception open 24 hours a day in the small grocery store which also sells fishing permits for the secondary rivers of the Alta. A nice stopover in perspective.

Since 1992, a small tourist office operates in this hostel of 55 rooms spread in several houses. The main building, with peat roof, is decorated with a Twin Peaks style shooter of Hitchcock's "Psychosis". By entering the restaurant, we're staring at the nose with an impressive number of stuffed animals, including a lynx, an elk to the mighty horns, an Arctic hare, a snow partridge and a wolverine— a great predator. In the living room in the large fireplace, two wooden poles are carved with the sami characters, in the way of a totem. On the side of the terrace, there is a breathtaking view of the fjord at the bottom of the mountain.

By continuing on the E 6, the views are superb on the fjord and the Lyngen Alps to the snow-capped peaks. The Narrows valley of Signaldal with lush vegetation is dominated by the characteristic summits of the Otertind.

Just a few meters from the port, these recently renovated apartments have all the comforts. The establishment also offers a restaurant. A vast wooden terrace, a part sheltered from rain and wind, just a few dishes on the menu, including a seafood platter, or a delicious fish soup whose recipe the owner jealously guards. The place is as restful as it is enchanting. Here, more than at the North Cape (full of tourists), one has the feeling of being at the end of the world. The ideal place to set off on an adventure and escape the daily grind!

Here's a pretty cheap option. The rooms are rather rudimentary, but they offer a good level of comfort and are very well located, on the port, facing the crystal clear sea and the surrounding islands. You will also have the option to book a rorbu, a traditional fisherman's hut. The place is idyllic, less crowded than the North Cape and favourable to relaxation and rejuvenation. The company organizes many guided tours to discover the birds of the surrounding area by boat, a must if you are thinking of staying in Gjesvaer!

Probably the cheapest way to sleep. A set of small complexes of cabins and fishermen's huts scattered around the island's villages.

After Alta, Kirkenes is the^2nd city in Norway to propose a hotel in ice. It is difficult to make more disorienting! A hotel not quite like the others since it is entirely made of ice and snow!

This is the number one attraction in Jukkasjärvi. This ice hotel is the very first of its kind in the world and it is also the largest. For more than twenty years, every year, some forty international artists, assisted by a team of specialists, have been sculpting the ice of the River Torne - one of the purest rivers in Europe - and giving shape to this temporary building. They also build an ice bar and an ice church. Guests sleep on a bed of ice at -5°C in sleeping bags provided by the hotel. A magical experience.

A rather basic youth hostel, where the facilities are new but lack warmth. Admittedly, the lounge is more like a conference room than a cosy nest. In the end, the reasonable prices and free kitchen are the two positive points of this establishment, along with its central location. Check-in by envelope possible for late arrivals. Accessible to people with reduced mobility.
