About Jeris
Jeris sits beside Lake Jerisjärvi in western Finnish Lapland, surrounded by forests and open winter landscapes. It feels quieter than nearby Harriniva and has a naturally slower pace, making the lake and cottages a bigger part of the experience.
We have worked in this area for many years and Jeris remains one of those destinations that is easy to understand once you arrive: the restaurant looks down towards the lake, the cottages disappear into the trees and much of the winter experience happens in the landscape immediately around you.
Our current Jeris programme is limited, so this page should be honest about that rather than pretending it is one of our largest ranges. The strength is the setting and the ability to combine Jeris with Harriniva.
Lake, Wilderness and Arctic Sauna World
Winter activities around Jeris can include huskies, snowmobiles, reindeer, snowshoeing and Aurora searches, with Lake Jerisjärvi providing both a winter playground and a broad dark-sky viewpoint.
The lakeside sauna facilities are one of the destination’s most distinctive features and give Jeris a calmer, more restorative side after a day outdoors.
If you like the idea of your own cottage, a frozen lake outside and enough activity to keep the days interesting without feeling rushed, Jeris is a very good fit.
Where to Stay in Jeris
