VALKEA LODGE

Untouched wilderness as far as the eye can see - forests and hills, rivers and lakes, campfires and coffee, no hurry and silence, the midnight sun and northern lights.

These adventures you get to experience safely with our experienced guides. We operate on both the Finnish and Swedish side of the border, at latitude 66.7, where the Arctic Circle meets the freely flowing Tornio River and Lake Valkea.

The Westribe team have expanded and continued from Svanstein Arctic Experience to Valkea Arctic Experience.

We are the same tribe as before, with the same service, activities, and familiarity, but now we can offer brand new and improved accommodation in log cabins.

Valkea Lodge offers a fantastic network of trails and nature directly from the doorstep, perfect for i.e. Snowmobile safaris, Snowshoe trekking, Cross-country skiing, Ice-fishing, Snowboarding/Downhill skiing, and last but not least; our own Husky farm with real Siberian huskies.

“Valkea” is an old Finnish word, meaning both “White” and “Fire”. Hense, Valkea Lodge lies nestled in the Lappish White winter pine forest, by the White Lake.

In the evenings, as people like to do here in the north, we all relax by a Fire from our private fireplace in the log cabin apartments.

We have untouched wilderness as far as the eye can see, forests and hills, rivers and lakes, campfires and coffee, no hurry and silence, the midnight sun and northern lights. These adventures you get to experience safely with our experienced guides.
