We are Norcota
your hosts for log cabin adventures and a break full of authentic moments
We are Michaela and Christoph and originally come from Switzerland, from the Bernese Oberland. Christoph discovered the beauty and fascination of Finland years ago. Here he felt connected to nature and had the opportunity to relax. Since childhood he dreamed of a little house in the forest. In 2019 he finally made his dream come true. A few years later we got to know each other, whereupon Christoph quickly whisked me away to his paradise in Lapland. From the first moments I felt that this was a very special, definitely magical place. It was clear to us that we wanted to build our new home here. We both wish to feel connected to nature and also to live it. We are happy to share the fascination of Lapland with others. What could be more valuable than time, peace and security.
Kind regards, Michaela and Christoph
What you can expect from us
A holiday in a traditional log cabin – your very own personal retreat in Ivalo. Here you'll find a place where silence doesn't mean emptiness, but freedom. A place where you can experience life in nature up close, breathe deeply, and simply be.
You'll live in the log cabin, surrounded only by nature, water, silence, and the warm feeling of having truly arrived. This is the lifestyle we live ourselves and want to share it with you: authentic, connected to nature, and genuine.
In winter, we'll take you on exciting snowmobile adventures, and in summer, on hiking tours through the pristine landscape that inspires us every day. Here you'll experience life in nature as authentically as we live it ourselves – close, slowed down, and free.
After a day full of impressions, the sauna awaits you – warm, soothing, and perfect for relaxation.
This is what a Finnish adventure feels like: your own log cabin, genuine nature, and the tranquil, warm hospitality of Lapland.
