Situated within the deluxe wing of the Tunturi Hotel, the exclusive Gielas Hotel invites you to discover the magic of the Arctic in refined comfort. Highly recommended for its deluxe rooms and junior suites, this elegant retreat blends modern amenities with the serene beauty of Saariselkä’s snowy wilderness.
