Where is Nellim?
Tucked away in the northeastern corner of Finnish Lapland, Nellim is a small village that sits on the shores of Lake Inari, just a stone’s throw from the Arctic circle. This remote location is precisely what makes Nellim special. The untouched wilderness and natural beauty left us breathless, and we know you’ll feel the same. Nellim offers visitors a chance to immerse themselves in the pristine wilderness of the Arctic ecosystem.
You’ll discover a place where the beauty of Lapland reveals itself in its purest form. Nellim offers a quieter spot, where you can really get to know the local communities, which is something we love doing. It also means that each experience feels personal and authentic, allowing families to connect with the land and its people.
The Magic of Nellim
What makes Nellim truly magical? It starts with the snow, which arrives earlier here than in many other parts of Lapland, extending the winter wonderland experience. But the real crown jewel of Nellim is its reputation as one of the best places in Lapland to witness the ethereal Northern Lights. The village’s location, far from any significant light pollution, provides ideal conditions for aurora viewing, offering visitors a front-row seat to one of nature’s most spectacular shows.
The seclusion of Nellim adds another layer to its charm. Here, your family holiday feels more personal and private. Whether you’re cosying up in a cabin, exploring the surrounding forests, or gliding across frozen lakes, there’s a sense of intimacy with the Arctic environment that’s hard to find elsewhere.
For families seeking a wilderness adventure, Nellim delivers in spades. The village is surrounded by vast expanses of unspoiled nature, offering endless opportunities for exploration and discovery. From silent snow-covered forests to the expansive frozen surface of Lake Inari, the landscape around Nellim invites visitors to step into a world that feels both ancient and timeless, making it ideal for family adventure holidays.
