Korvalan Kestikievari
About
Korvalan Kestikievari is the oldest tourism business in the Rovaniemi region. It has been owned by the same family for over one hundred years, which gives Korvala its unique and genuine atmosphere. It is a traditional guesthouse, which was established in 1889 alongside the Arctic Ocean Passage – the road from Rovaniemi to the northernmost point of Europe. Originally a place where travellers could rest, eat and sleep, it has for over twenty years also provided winter activities such as husky sledding tours, reindeer sleigh-rides and snowmobile excursions, in addition to other usual winter activities such as skiing and ice-fishing.
