Niehku Mountain Villa sits in the Riksgränsen ski resort, 200 kilometres north of the Arctic Circle and 50 metres from the Norwegian border, with Norway’s fjords just a few kilometres away. The villa was built on the site of the old roundhouse of the iron ore railway that has crossed this landscape for over a century.
This is the heart of Lapland. With 14 double rooms, a dining room, bar, lounge, sauna, gym and massage services, the lodge sits directly at the foot of the mountain, offering a level of luxury that operates with the informality and personal atmosphere of a private residence.
The ground floor centres around a dining room and bar with an open fire pit inspired by coal-fired steam engine boilers. The lounge above has panoramic views over the Riksgränsen ski resort and Vassijaure Lake, with an open fireplace, library and coffee station. All rooms are fitted with Hästens beds. The interiors were designed by the celebrated Stylt agency.
Skiing, ski touring, heliskiing, hiking and Arctic winter experiences are all available directly from the lodge, guided by the villa’s own team of IFMGA certified mountain guides.

Activities
Niehku Mountain Villa sits in one of the most remote corners of Swedish Lapland, with a programme of guided adventures covering every season.
The villa’s own IFMGA certified mountain guides lead five experiences: heliskiing across over 5,000 square kilometres of terrain, ski touring and off-piste skiing, freeriding at the Riksgränsen ski resort, Arctic Winter Weekends covering snowmobile tours and Northern Lights, and guided hiking through the Swedish wilderness from late June to September.
The founding team are skiers and adventurers who know this landscape intimately, with careers spanning some of the world’s most remote heliskiing locations.
Guests are taken to mountains, valleys, fjords and remote locations where few travellers ever venture, with the tiny hamlet of Riksgränsen the only sign of habitation in the surrounding wilderness.
Food & Drink
The dining room is the heart of the lodge, serving a set menu each evening built around local ingredients, wild game and fish from the surrounding forests, mountains and lakes.
The menu follows a culinary journey from the Gulf of Bothnia, with Kalix löjrom as a starting point, through the forests of the Torne Valley with moose, berries and mushrooms, over the mountaintops with reindeer and grouse, and across the Norwegian border to the fish and shellfish of the Lofoten Islands. The kitchen draws on the seasons and the surrounding landscape as its primary influences.
