🔥 The beach sauna is located right by the water and offers a traditional Finnish sauna experience. After a gentle steam bath, it is easy to cool off on the pier or swim in the clean water. The lakeside sauna is an unforgettable experience, especially in the evenings, when the setting sun colors the landscape and there is complete silence around.

🎣 Excellent fishing opportunities on Simpelejärvi
We have one of the largest and most affordable boat selections in Finland: 9 20 hp boats for 70 euros/day. 2 larger ones for 120 euros/day. The boats are delivered fully fueled to the cottage pier before your arrival. There is extra gasoline for the boats and chargers for charging the batteries of the bow thrusters. Mika maintains the boats regularly and is quickly on hand to help if needed. The area is excellent for casting, trolling and other rod fishing.

🎣 Simpelejärvi offers excellent fishing opportunities for anglers of all levels. The lake is known for its good fish stocks, and its waters contain, among others, pike, perch, zander and trout. You can fish both from the shore and from a boat, and the lake's wide backs and sheltered bays offer versatile places for different types of fishing. 🛶 Boat and trolling opportunities are good, and there are easily accessible piers in the area. Casting, jigging and trolling often produce excellent catches, and traditional angling from the shore waters is also successful. The peaceful environment makes fishing an enjoyable experience in the middle of nature. 🌅 Evening and morning fishing is particularly atmospheric, when the lake surface is calm and the scenery offers an unforgettable experience. Simpelejärvi is therefore suitable for both active fishermen and relaxed leisure fishing.
