PARPALANDIA OY
Parpalandia is a family-owned enterprise and the owner is as local as a person can be. He was born in Rovaniemi and nowadays he actually lives in Parpalandia. So chances are high that you will meet him when you visit Parpalandia.
Parpalandia is located close to Rovaniemi, but far away enough so our visitors can enjoy a peaceful atmosphere. Take in the unspoiled nature, and because of very low light pollution, the beauty of the northern lights in the night, if you are lucky.
Parpalandia Oy has begun its operations as a husky farm only. Nowadays, Parpalandia Oy is still a husky farm, but now you can enjoy many more fun activities with us like snowmobiling and the Northern Lights tours away from light pollution.
We have two cottages in Parplandia. One is for the owner and the bigger lodge is for guests. Our accommodation is perfect for those looking for accommodation outside of the city to enjoy their holiday in Lapland. It is also a great option for groups and dog lovers because we are a husky farm. In Parpalandia you can get to know the healing power of nature and the tranquility of Lapland.
We recommend you to book the whole holiday in Parpalandia. We will be happy to create an itinerary for you and make your holiday in Lapland magical!
EXPERIENCE LAPLAND. EXPERIENCE PARPALANDIA.
SUSTAINABLE TOURISM
Tourism can bring many economic and social benefits, particularly in rural areas.
In Parpalandia we realize how important it is to balance the potential negative effects of tourism on our local community and our environment. We are aware that our nature is our most valuable asset and tourism or any other activities must be done sensitively.
All our employees follow a strict “leave no trace policy”, meaning that we leave no trash in nature. It is very important for us that our customers behave the same.
The company is active in contributing to the local economy. We work with many local suppliers and cooperate with local partners. When possible, the company aims to employ locals and those permanently living in Lapland. In this way, we make sure that our employees also contribute to the local economy.
THE WELLBEING OF OUR DOGS IS OUR PRIORITY
Our dogs are Alaskan huskies. They are good runners and really enjoy it! That is what you hear before we start the tour as they start barking, eager to run already and also the ones in the cages want to join the teams. Some of them have been born to our farm, some have been brought from Sweden and Norway.
The dogs work until they get old or for some other reason are not able to work anymore. Then they will find retirement homes. Often the staff wants to adopt them.
