Step into our atmospheric White Reindeer Kota Restaurant, where rustic log tables decorated with reindeer hides and the warmth of an open fire create a touch of northern magic. From the forest terrace of the kota, you can meet our friendly reindeer and feed them lichen while our staff shares stories about their lives.
A lunch or a 3–4 course dinner prepared by our wilderness chef over the campfire, in the company of reindeer, is a unique experience you won’t find anywhere else in Southern Finland.
The traditional kota seats 35 guests for dining, and around the fire there is room for larger groups to enjoy the cozy atmosphere of the flames. Here, the peace of Finnish nature blends with the unique surroundings of Nuuksio National Park.
The kota has hosted intimate nature weddings, birthday celebrations, corporate events, and international guests. It also serves as a relaxed meeting venue or the perfect addition to an event at Karhunpesä.
During your visit, you may also want to stop by the Reindeer Park’s shop, where you can find for example jewelry and handicrafts made of reindeer bone—ideal as gifts or souvenirs. In the Amethyst Mining Shed, you can dig up your own raw Finnish amethyst, complete with a certificate of authenticity.
