Spring at Kukkolaforsen

In spring, the Torne River begins to break up from the ice and the current becomes stronger every day. The water rushes ever more powerfully through Kukkolaforsen, and the spring flood is followed daily from the riverbank. The landscape changes during the spring – every day the rapids show a new side.

The restaurant is open during Easter and on weekends in May. Accommodation can be booked at any time.

During the weekends in May, we have an offer for hotel accommodation with a 30% discount. This includes breakfast in the restaurant and access to two saunas.
For camping guests, the offer is the third night for free.

The offer only applies to online bookings between Thursday and Sunday.
Please also feel free to book a table in the restaurant where we serve an à la carte menu.
