Experience dream holidays every season

Ukkohalla’s location is unique: a holiday village built by the lake offers the ideal setting for unforgettable, year-round getaways. Experience magical nature right on your doorstep: the ancient forests of Vorlok, Kainuu’s highest hills, a nature park, and stunning natural attractions such as the Hepoköngäs and Komulanköngäs waterfalls. The area is one of the snowiest regions in Finland. The Ukkohalla Masterplan 2030 outlines the essential actions that will enable the area’s growth and development in a responsible and sustainable manner. The development program has been prepared in collaboration with the municipality of Hyrynsalmi, local entrepreneurs, cottage owners, and the tourism association.
