Two saunas are there to warm you up after a day outdoors. Enjoy the hot room as long as you feel comfortable with and then cool off naked in the sheltered balcony with a refreshing cold Lappish beer. In winter you should roll in the snow or at least wash your face with snow! Repeat as many times as you like.
An old wood-heated sauna is in use in summer. Long time ago it was the only place to wash yourself.

Kota, the Lapp hut, is located right behind the hotel. Lapp hut represents the original Lappish construction at its very finest. Even in colder weather or with a smaller group, the Lapp hut is a warm and cosy place to spend an evening after an activity-filled day. Coffee, sausage and pancakes get their best taste when made on open fire.
You may have heard of the “magic of Lapland “. Probably the best place to experience it is in kota.
Near the Lapp hut there is another fire place where you can fry sausage or grill something else out side in summer time.
