Gielas and Kontio, Hotel Tunturi

Enjoy a selection of modern, spacious rooms and suites, all located within Santa’s Hotel Tunturi. Nestled right next to the stunning Urho Kekkonen National Park, the hotel offers the perfect setting for peaceful walks and unforgettable views of the Northern Lights.

What we love about Gielas and Kontio, Hotel Tunturi

  • Everything!

The Gielas and Kontio rooms are situated in recently refurbished buildings, each offering a more modern and spacious accommodation option within Santa’s Hotel Tunturi. Both buildings are separate from the main hotel, but conveniently located just a short walk away.

The Kontio building is located directly opposite the main hotel and serves as the central hub for dining, with guests enjoying breakfast and evening meals here. Meanwhile, the Gielas building features its own inviting bar and lounge area, complete with a cosy fireplace—perfect for unwinding after a day in the snow.

Santa’s Hotel Tunturi boasts an excellent location in the heart of Saariselkä, with easy access to tobogganing spots and winter trails. The adjacent Urho Kekkonen National Park offers a stunning backdrop for family walks and is an ideal place to catch a glimpse of the Northern Lights on clear nights.

Offers twin beds and a sofa-bed suitable for one adult or two children. Includes a private sauna and an en-suite bathroom.

Konto Suites (Type N) - Sleeps 3-4
Larger than the deluxe bedrooms, this suite has twin beds and a separate room with a sofa-bed for one adult or two children. Features a private sauna and an en-suite bathroom with a shower.

All accommodations in both Gielas and Kontio buildings come equipped with:

  • Private sauna
  • En-suite bathroom
