Enjoy a memorable winter evening at Metsola Wilderness Restaurant, a secluded dining venue surrounded by snow covered trees and untouched arctic nature.

Start your evening with a snowmobile sleigh ride through the tranquil frozen forests. Cosy under warm blankets, you’ll drift through the Lappish Wilderness as your guide leads the way to the wilderness restaurant.

You will enjoy a three-course dinner inspired by the flavours of Finnish Lapland. Seasonal ingredients from lakes, forests, and fells are transformed into a fine dining experience that celebrates Lapland’s natural bounty: wild herbs, local game, fish, handpicked berries, and forest greens. Each dish tells its own story of nature, sustainability, and slow, thoughtful cooking.

Step out under the starry night sky and head out on a tranquil snowshoe safari around the southern tip of Äkäsjärvi Lake. As you wander through the arctic wilderness keep your eyes on the sky, you may be fortunate enough to witness the Northern Lights dancing above, painting the night with ethereal shades of green and purple.

After this serene adventure, you'll enjoy a heart meal at Äkäsmylly, before making your way back to the cosy village of Äkäslompolo.
