Inari Onnela Wilderness Services - Nellim

We’ve had the most wonderful experience at Pete’s farm during our Lapland trip. If you’re looking for an authentic Lapland adventure, incredible local homemade food, high quality arctic-proof clothing and equipment and most importantly a host who truly cares about giving his guests the best experience - Pete is your man! His farm is super secluded, only reachable via snowmobile in winter / boat in summer and everything there was built or renovated with his own hands (including the wood-fired sauna and hot-tub). Even the moose whose meat he serves for lunch or dinner was shot and prepared by himself! Pete cares as much about nature as he cares about his guests, which you can see in the smart and sustainable solutions he has found to smoothly run the farm without access to the standard infrastructure. The secluded location of the farm means you have the best view on the Northern Lights right from your doorstep as there is no light pollution, you can strap on the skis and go for a nice long tour right in the backyard forest, or hop on the snowmobile and explore the lake and its surroundings without traffic, crowds or the usual sign-up procedure in hotels. We’ve had a fantastic time, no matter the weather, activity or time of the day! Highly recommend to anyone who is looking for the road less traveled by, as it makes all the difference! 🙂

Quel séjour incroyable... nous avons passé 4 jours avec Pétri tout simplement formidable, tout est pensé, de l'équipement, de son service, de sa gentillesse, sa proximité tout en vous laissant votre intimité, des activités faites avec lui au moment simple de la vie comme partager des histoires de la vie autour d'un verre et du feu, les accommodations qui sont a votre disposition sont authentiques et super bien conçues, à vrai dire mon père et moi avons vécus des belles choses chez lui, si je peux vous conseiller à travers ce commentaire : foncez chez Pétri, soyez vous même, respectueux et il saura vous faire passer un séjour inoubliable !

Merci encore, à bientôt dans les Pyrénées...!!! 😁

We had a fantastic time at Petri's place. He picked us up from Ivalo airport, drove us to Nellim, we got warm winter gear and then we drove with snow mobiles to his accomodation. There we stayed in a cosy and warm cabin, went for Saunas, into the hot tub watching northern lights, ice fishing, skying and had a long snow mobile tour where Petri showed us all the sights. If you are looking for the perfect guide and host, look no further!!! Pedri is very friendly and also a very good cook. I can't wait to go back very soon. Thank you very much. The crazy Germans. 🙂

Upea paikka Lapin rauhassa. Vietimme 4 vuorokautta heinäkuun helteillä Onnelassa ja pääsimme nauttimaan upeasta säästä, kauniista maisemista ja kalastamaan ammattitaitoisen oppaan mukana. Kalaakin saatiin hyvin helteistä huolimatta ja pääsimme syömään tuoretta kalaa eri muodoissa. Tästä reissusta jäi monta hienoa muistoa. Vahva suositus.

Aidosti erämaassa, jossa saimme nauttia loistavista kalastuspäivistä ammattitaitoisen oppaan kanssa. Mieleenpainuvat 3 aktiivista päivää. Iltaisin sauna + uiminen kirkkaassa vedessä virkisti ja herkisti nauttimaan loistavasta kalaruuasta jonka isäntä Petri ammattitaidolla loihti.

Inari Onnela Wilderness Services is a great place and Petri Kokkonen is an experienced and very pleasant guide.
We were there for a week in April for ice fishing! A great experience!
But maybe not a place for people looking for 5-star luxury. In Onnela you will only find simple Finnish luxury (good food, lots of peace and nature in an incredibly beautiful landscape, stimulating conversations in an appreciative atmosphere, a good old sauna ...) or in other words: Finnish happiness! 🎣 😎👍🏻
Love it … Rakastan Onnela!

Incroyable expérience en février 2024. La nature, l’accueil et la bienveillance de Petri étaient exceptionnels. Si vous souhaitez découvrir la vraie vie en Laponie, ne cherchez pas ailleurs. Très grand merci à « Pete ». Continue dans cette voie tu as tout compris!

We stayed here magical week with my teenage kids in last July. We enjoyed silence and beautiful nature. Petri is very hospitable but gave us time to be in my own as well. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to have a true Lapland and nature experience.
