About Harriniva
Harriniva Adventure Resort sits on the banks of the Muonio River, deep in the Arctic and on Finland’s border with Sweden. Harriniva is our longest-standing destination and is as popular now as it ever has been.
Ideally situated in The Aurora Zone, the hotel has become famous as an exceptional Northern Lights destination and a centre for Arctic activities. They love to show their guests the wild North of Finnish Lapland and life is made wonderfully simple here as the hotel offers a comprehensive range of safaris on site. They even have their own Arctic Sled Dog Centre in the grounds with over 400 eager huskies, waiting to whisk you off on an adventure.
Harriniva sits on the outskirts of Muonio village, but do not fear that there is any light pollution to impact your Aurora hunting. Indeed, the municipality has a population density of just over one person per square kilometre, meaning you are more likely to see a reindeer than a person here! It’s perfect Aurora hunting territory and our holidays at Harriniva will make sure you maximise your viewing opportunities.
The Perfect Backdrop
Harriniva is surrounded by what is effectively one big adventure playground and the beauty of this location is that so many of the activities start from within the hotel’s grounds, so you can really maximise your time here.
The hotel itself oozes Finnish charm and is clad in warm wooden throughout; it looks like one giant cabin. It is a cosy retreat from the chill of the outdoors and a place from which like-minded individuals explore the wilderness and gather to share their experiences at night.
The accommodation is just a short walk from the main hotel building.
Local, home cooked dishes in Harriniva’s restaurant and its pub offers a place for guests to wind down after their activities.
