A Gateway to Lappish Culture and Experiences

Located in the heart of Oikarainen, just 15 minutes away from the centre of Rovaniemi, Raanupirtti is a cultural landmark where history, tradition, and nature come together. This over 200-year-old estate, once home to renowned artists Elsa Montell-Saanio and Matti Saanio, invites you to experience the authentic spirit of Lapland through its stories, landscapes, and unique adventures.

With us, you can explore Lapland’s rich cultural heritage:
Raanu Experiences takes you deeper into Lapland’s natural wonders and traditions. Unwind in our over 200-year-old riverside sauna, enjoy the calmness of the forest, or experience the magic of the Northern Lights on one of our private tours. Gather by the fire for a moment of peace, with coffee brewed over an open flame and stories that connect you to Lapland’s soul.
