Spend an unforgettable night in an ecological shingle hut at Nuuksio Reindeer Park. Watch the reindeer directly from your hut window and feed them lichen from the comfort of your accommodation.
The peaceful surroundings, pristine nature, and the gentle presence of the reindeer create a unique experience that you will remember for a long time.
The handcrafted shingle huts are built sustainably using natural materials. Their design combines centuries-old building traditions with modern craftsmanship. The exterior is covered with spruce shingles, while the interior features beautiful aspen wood. Each hut contains more than 2,500 individually installed shingles. There are two huts available, named Naava and Pihka.
