Tankavaara Gold Village

thanks to all the staff! we spent a very good time with the family. we will come here again!

Only one menu at lunchtime and in the evening, no choice, no dessert at lunchtime and those in the evening blah blah... No pastries for breakfast. The rooms are clean, a little cramped to store cold weather suits and the single beds are a bit tight for someone strong. Everything is paid for in the country where there is more than one sauna per home, the sauna costs €20 for 1 hour. the overpriced cross-country ski snowshoes in 2 days we paid for the pair of snowshoes. For the price, the services are not up to par. Instead, go through Scanditour, which is more specialized in Scandinavian countries. So very disappointed with this place

For a second experience in Finland. Very disappointed with the services offered. At the hotel, the rooms are good (a few more square meters especially to store the extreme cold suits would have been necessary). The rooms are in 2 different buildings from the restaurant. For meals, there is no choice of just one dish, not necessarily typical Finnish. No dessert at lunchtime only in the evening and still not typical. Breakfast is classic, the basics. No pastries. Everything is extra (snowshoes, cross-country skiing, sauna). The cold weather outfit is provided but you must return it the day before departure (if you still want to take advantage of the outfit to try to see the aurora, it's ruined). It is preferable to add a hundred euros to the stay and to have better quality services through scanditours. Particularly at pohtimo in Rovaniemi which I recommend with my eyes closed for a Finnish stay. The Jumbo host on site was nice but he doesn't have the means. For dog sledding activities, departure from the hotel is good. Snow scooter not great departure from the town and a bit short, an hour more would have been nice no crossing the frozen ground on a scooter. No picnics in nature. Walk with reindeer tied one behind the other. You don't drive.
