A dream of Pyhä.
A warm welcome to Kimmelvilla from all of us to all of you.
Pyhätunturi has been an important place for us past 25 years
and it’s always an awe-inspiring moment to return there.
For years, our families have shared unforgettable experiences in
Pyhä, surrounded by a growing community of friends. These
memories and our mutual love for Lapland sparked a dream:
to build a place that embodies ecological integrity and reflects
the beauty of nature. On a snowy 2020 trip to Kilpisjärvi, the
idea started to take shape and became a shared goal—a vision
to create functional, minimalist spaces where people can
enjoy both activity and rest.
Our project blends ‘magic’ and ‘logic’ in its design—balancing
thoughtful simplicity with practical features. Together, we’ve
crafted a space where everything has its place, perfect for
active families. With sustainable materials, a shared sauna,
and a deep commitment to the environment, we are thrilled to
offer a destination where people can reconnect with nature,
family, and themselves.”
This project is more than a place to stay; it’s a tribute to the
values we cherish, a home for future memories, and a gateway
to Lapland’s timeless allure.”
