Your day begins and ends in our relaxed lounge and dining space set in the Arctic forest. Meals are served in a calm, home-like setting, with evening dining by request, candlelight, a custom menu, and a private chef. Every meal follows a forest-to-table approach, planned in advance, prepared using fresh ingredients for your stay.

A breakfast spread on the long table at the lodge: pastries on a small stand, ceramic bowls and mugs, a printed menu, morning sunlight streaming through the tall windows onto the snowy birch beyond.

dinner at the forest lodge

a home-cooked dinner,by request.

Dining at the forest lodge is available by request, with the comfort of staying in with your private chef. We follow a fresh-to-table approach, freshly prepared using local ingredients sourced specifically for your group.

Menus are planned in advance, based on your stay and dietary preferences. Simple, personal, considered. Less waste, better quality, and meals shaped around you, not a system. Booking must be made at least four days in advance, as our kitchen operates on a small scale and everything is prepared specifically for each stay.
