The Myrrysmies Room, located on the second floor, features two single beds – ideal for friends or couples traveling together.
Showers and toilets are shared among guests and are located in the main building, which includes a total of 7 toilets and 5 showers. In addition, all guests are welcome to relax in the house sauna, available daily. Bed linen and towels are included in the price.
Lappea is best known for salmon trolling – each summer, large schools of wild Baltic salmon migrate up the river, attracting passionate anglers from near and far. The season lasts throughout the summer: early in the season, large salmon weighing between 4 and 20 kilograms are commonly caught, while later in the summer, smaller but aggressive males around 1.5 to 2.5 kilograms become more prevalent. In addition to trolling, the quiet stretches of the river offer great shore fishing spots. The faster-flowing sections are ideal for targeting grayling and pike. Trolling maps are available at the starting point and from LappeanLohi, and it is recommended to review them before heading out. Since water levels can affect fishing conditions, it’s a good idea to ask for up-to-date tips before you go.

The river section at Lappea is part of the Tornionjoki, one of Europe’s most renowned salmon rivers. The fishing area stretches for approximately four kilometers and includes three main zones ("pools") with varying current conditions – from calm waters to strong rapids. This diversity makes the area especially attractive for both boat and shore anglers. In addition to the main river flow, nearby bays and inlets provide excellent opportunities for catching different species like salmon, grayling, and pike.
