Kirikeskus

Kirikeskus is a family-run wilderness hotel on the shore of Lake Kiritöjärvi in Posio, Lapland. It offers accommodation, a restaurant serving Lappish dishes made from local forest and water ingredients, meeting and program services, a beach sauna, and boat and canoe rental. Excursions include fishing, hiking, snowmobile safaris, snowshoeing, and trips to husky and reindeer farms. The hotel also organises ceramics and nature and landscape photography courses and events.

Customers are hotel guests, leisure travellers, and groups holding meetings or events, which can use an 80-seat auditorium overlooking the lake and smaller meeting rooms. The hotel also runs Kiri Slopes, a ski area about 200 metres away with three slopes, two of them illuminated, and a 110-metre height difference. Day passes, season passes, and ski and snowboard rentals are sold on site.

The hotel is owned and run by Reijo and Helvi Lantto, who have operated it for fifteen years. The company was founded in 2005 and is registered in Posio. The hotel houses what it describes as the world's northernmost ceramic centre and has two gallery spaces. It holds Green Key and Sustainable Travel certifications.
