Niehku Mountain Villa

The Best Ski Resorts in Europe for an Under-the-Radar Getaway | Vogue

"For those in search of a quintessential arctic experience, you can’t do much better than Niehku Mountain Villa. Known for its heliskiing tours, this hotel can whisk you away to 60 powdery peaks. There are 14 guest rooms and plenty of cozy nooks, including a dining room, bar, lounge, and a spa. The vibe definitely steers more toward homey than hotel, which is fitting considering its remote, spectacular location. The property was built on the site of an old steam locomotive roundhouse, and the original semi-circular stone wall runs through the new building. One especially unique architectural detail is the wine cellar, which is tucked under the restaurant and visible through a glass floor (it was originally a service pit for locomotives)." - Chadner Navarro, Nicole Kliest
