About us

Tunturin Henget Oy

Hello and welcome to the home of Kotamaja!

We are a petite, family run business, based in Ylläs, Lapland, Finland.

Kotamaja is a Ski Lodge located in the heart of Pallas-Yllästunturi National Park.

Kotamaja is open seasonally and offers a unique experience,
nourishment & refreshment, warmth around an open fire and breathtaking scenery.

2021

In 2021, Kotamaja received an award for the best atmosphere! 🙂

What we offer

We offer a selection of hot and cold beverages, snacks and heartier meals.

We have warm Reindeer soup everyday which is very popular!
We have a daily offer on the soup, including coffee, a cold drink, bread, butter / margarine and the soup itself.

Kotamaja offers some wonderfully refreshing Rieska rolls (Traditional Lappish bread) with savoury fillings of Salmon and Reindeer.
We have spent many hours perfecting the way that we make our coffee as we all know how much Finns love their coffee!

For those looking to try something new, we have a wide selection of mouthwatering homemade warm juices made from berries and herbs that only exist in Lapland!
The juices are rich in nutrients and ripe in flavour! (available cold also)

We have a wide selection of teas, ranging from green to earl grey!

Kotamaja

Kotamaja is one of Lapland's oldest remaining Log cabins.
It was built in 1969 and has been a very desirable location ever since it was built.
Constructed almost entirely of Pine logs, Kotamaja has a stunning interior and a stone hearth where new friends can be made around the warmth of fire and delicious coffee.

The interior of kotamaja has been styled to feel like a home: warm, traditional and crafted with love, care and a great amount of attention to detail.

The surroundings are just breathtaking, once in a life time feeling and feeling right at home are the most wonderful feelings for all that visit Kotamaja.
