Wilderness hut Káranas, Näkkälä Lapland

Káranas cabin is in Näkkälä, a small sámi village on the edge of the wide Pöyrisjärvi wilderness areas. The distance to the Norway border is 10 km. The population of Näkkälä is approximately 25 people, and the main livelihood is reindeer herding. Our cabin is by the lake Näkkäläjärvi, surrounded by beautiful fells.

Káranas is the Northern Sámi word for raven. Raven is considered a lucky bird. From the window of our cabin you can see Káranas fell on the other side of the lake.

The cabin has a spectacular view to the fells, and very good hiking and skiing opportunities year around. The snowmobile route from Hetta to Kilpisjärvi goes near the cabin. The lake Näkkäläjärvi and the river Näkkäläjoki are great places for ice fishing and fly fishing. The cabin is also in the middle of good hunting areas.
