Karetörmä
We have available for rent a log cottage named Karetörmä, located in Nuorgam, the northernmost village in the European Union.
Karetörmä is excellent place to watch northern lights. Watch the Aurora Borealis dance above the river Teno while you rest in a hot tub. Due to its location, Nuorgam is one of the best places to chase the Nordic lights. We have zero light pollution, and because of the cold weather there are no clouds. This makes it possible to see the northern lights during 60–70% of the winter nights.
Karetörmä is built alongside Europe’s best salmon-fishing river Teno. The shoreline by Karetörmä is very steep and the river has a gravel bed. We also have a riverboat with an outboard motor available for rent. The cottage is located only 2 km away from the best fly-fishing areas of Alaköngäs and Boratbocka.
Karetörmä was built in 1992 and fully renovated during 2014–2015. The cottage consists of a spacious living room (with a sofa-bed), a combined kitchen and dining area, a twin bedroom, a bedroom with a bunkbed, a loft with an extra-wide mattress (180 cm), a sauna with a wood-burning stove, a bathroom and toilet, and a covered terrace with a hot tub.
