Having used the restaurant several times before we decided this time to also stay overnight at Hotel Jussan Tupa. And we were not dissapointed. We had a wonderful stay in a nice room, the breakfast was good, the staff working at the hotel very friendly. Was also very pleasant sitting in the nice lounge in the evening with a glas of red wine.
Cosy and warm cottage. The owner are great and lovely. Very caring and helpful. This place has everything you need and even more. We could see squirrels and foxes in the morning. Highly recommend for 1 night or 1 week!!
The breakfast was delicious, many different delicacies
We had also two dinners at the hotels and we loved them! Many different specialities from the finnish cuisine!
Rooms are cozy and very clean!

Enontekiö is a large area in north east Finland, and it is mostly void of people, which is excellent. There are a few villages, like Hetta, commonly called Enontekiö, where you can find everything you need.
Enontekiö boasts many of the most dramatic sceneries in Finland, like Saana and Halti fells, in the 'arm' (Käsivarsi), and palsasuot (permafrost-hill mires). It's excellent for hiking, berry- and mushroom-picking, and visiting one or more of the many national parks and Sami sacred places at hand.
In Hetta, we stayed at Ounasloma for the 4th time. It is a family-owned holiday cottage business, which provides actual fully-furnished houses with sauna, and the lakeshore is just next door, boats and bikes are at disposal.
We had our own food, but one evening we grabbed burgers and chips from the local grillikiosi (opposite k supermarket and alko), and not only was the lady very friendly, but the kioski sells bare necessities and the burgers are huge and excellent.
I only wait to go back, discover more of the nature around, and maybe finally climb the Saana fell, which was foggy (and therefore very dangerous) when we were there.
