The North, felt for real
The best northern memories begin with real places
The North stays with you through simple, powerful moments: the sound of snow beneath your boots, rosy cheeks warming indoors, a shared meal after a day outside and the stillness of a forest beneath the stars.
Tiera brings these moments together in one welcoming place. Here, families can experience the northern winter actively, return to familiar surroundings every evening and enjoy the warmth, food and rest that make each new day possible.
The North, felt for real
The best northern memories begin with real places
Sleep well
Return from the cold to a peaceful, renewed hotel room with comfortable beds and space for the family to settle in. Tieran character comes from its Finnish roots, practical comfort and gently updated retro details.
Eat well
Breakfast, lunch and dinner are served buffet-style. The kitchen uses local products and northern berries whenever possible, giving families familiar, nourishing food before and after active days outdoors.
Warm up and recover
Enjoy a swim, relax in the warmth of a Finnish sauna and discover Tiera’s Bioharmony approach to recovery. Warmth, water, rest and gentle movement help the whole family settle into the rhythm of the North.
Step into the North
Winter experiences begin at the hotel or within easy reach. Choose from huskies, reindeer, snowmobiling, skiing, snowshoeing, ice fishing and Northern Lights excursions.
Your northern winter begins here
One holiday, many ways to experience the snow
Every family has its own pace. Some days call for speed and adventure; others are made for quiet forests, warm drinks and time together. Choose individual experiences or let us help you build a balanced programme for your stay.
Husky Safari
Meet an enthusiastic team of huskies and experience the power of the dogs as the sled moves through the snowy landscape. Selected safaris allow adults to try driving while children enjoy the journey from the sled.
Reindeer Experience
Visit a reindeer farm, learn about northern traditions and travel peacefully through the snow in a reindeer sleigh. This is a calm and memorable experience for families and first-time visitors.
Snowmobile Safari
Travel deeper into the winter landscape by snowmobile. Guided routes take you through forests, across frozen terrain and into the wide scenery of Northern Finland.
Northern Lights Excursion
Leave the brightest lights behind and head towards a dark northern sky. A guide chooses the location according to the weather and cloud conditions while the group waits by warm drinks or an open fire.
Skiing
Try cross-country skiing on the surrounding trails or spend the day on the slopes. Equipment rental and introductory guidance can be arranged according to availability.
Snowshoeing and Ice Fishing
Walk into a quiet winter forest on snowshoes or settle beside a hole in the frozen lake. These slower activities offer space to notice animal tracks, changing light and the silence of winter.
A simple family holiday – From arrival to adventure
We help bring the journey together
A northern holiday includes more than a hotel room. Families may also need airport transfers, winter clothing, meals, activity transport and help choosing experiences that suit different ages.
