As autumn arrives in Finnish Arctic Lapland, nature paints the landscape with fiery reds, glowing oranges, and brilliant golds. Reindeer roam freely through the birch trees as they shimmer delicately, their leaves dancing softly in the breeze. Our Autumn Stillness Retreat is located within the beauty of Pallas-Yllästunturi National Park, inviting you to explore the breathtaking natural wilderness environment, slow down, breathe deep, and reconnect.
Our cosy lakeside cabins sit directly within the boundaries of the National Park, a pristine wilderness renowned for its pure air and breathtaking scenery. The park offers diverse landscapes - from gentle hills and valleys to expansive forests filled with pine, spruce, and vibrant birch. Imagine waking each morning in your tranquil cabin, greeted by crisp air and golden sunlight filtering through the trees. Sip your coffee while watching reflections dance across the lake, and set out for days filled with quiet exploration and reflective moments. This is your space to rest, reflect, and to return to yourself gently, intentionally, and with a sense of wonder.
Conveniently located near Kittilä Airport, your tranquil escape is easily accessible. Stay for 3 to 6 nights, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the rhythm of Lapland’s autumnal magic.
