In the heart of breathtaking Sevettijärvi, nestled between the lake of the same name and Kirakkajärvi, lies a hidden gem accessible via a gravel road: Reindeer Farm Sanila. Here, where Finnish, Sámi, and Norwegian cultures blend, you find not just a place to stay, but also to taste, feel, and experience.
For over 30 years, this farm has welcomed travelers from all over the world with genuine warmth and hospitality. But what truly stands out is the famed reindeer bread—a handcrafted baked delight that is second to none. Fresh out of the oven, it features a crispy crust and a rich, savory flavor that perfectly complements the rugged, pristine landscapes of Lapland.
From the farm, two paths lead directly into nature. One takes you to the serene lake, while the other guides you to a secluded pond. Both spots are perfect vantage points for the magical Northern Lights during clear winter nights, or to enjoy a breathtaking sunrise that sets the sky ablaze early in the morning.
Although the Northern Lights took a brief hiatus during my visit, the memory of those quiet, expansive landscapes will always stay with me.
Located near the Norwegian border, this isn’t just an ideal stopover, but also an affordable and atmospheric base for adventures in both Norway and the remote northeast of Finland.
Come visit, taste the famous reindeer bread, breathe in the fresh Lapland air, and let yourself be embraced by the timeless charm of Reindeer Farm Sanila.
