On the edge of the wilderness
CAHKAL HOTEL
Located at the foot of the Saana mountain in Kilpisjärvi, this boutique hotel offers high-quality nature and food experiences for both pleasure seekers and active travellers.
The heart of Cahkali beats to the rhythm of the surrounding nature, according to the seasons. In summer, the wilderness invites guests to go fishing and hiking. In winter, the surrounding fells can be explored with a guide, either on skis or snowshoes.
"Practicality combined with aesthetics are important for an active person who appreciates quality in a nature destination. We want to offer our clients a high quality, yet homely environment for the perfect holiday. "
