About Us

Accommodation has been offered on the Giellajohka site for more than sixty years. Formerly known as Kiellatupa, it was a cozy stop for hikers and travelers exploring the area between the Muotkatunturi and Paistunturi wilderness regions.

Today, Giellajohka is a family-run business. Since 2016, we’ve been developing this unique place with a deep respect for nature and a passion for creating meaningful experiences for our guests.

Lapland Awaits

Things to Do in the Area

Giellajohka lies in the heart of Lapland’s untouched wilderness—one of the best places in the world to witness the northern lights. Far from light pollution and almost as far north as civilization reaches, this is the perfect setting for experiencing the glow of Arctic skies and the stillness of pure nature.

Each season offers something special: In winter, you can explore snowy fells on snowshoes, race across the wilderness on a snowmobile, or ski in peaceful silence. In summer, hike scenic trails, cast your fishing line, and discover the pristine beauty of the surrounding wilderness.

Beyond natural beauty, the area is rich in culture. Visit a local reindeer farm to learn about Sámi heritage, or enjoy traditional northern flavors in our restaurant.

Giellajohka is more than just a place to stay—it’s an experience where nature, culture, and peace come together. Discover the magic of Lapland and make it your own.
