Recommended hotels
Because of a big coinciding festival, there’s a very limited number of hotel/hostel accommodation available in Heinävesi. So please, be early.
- Small Hotel Kermankeidas with restaurant in Kerma. The Sauna on Saturday will be here. It’s about 8 km from the training hall.
- Gasthaus Kotipuro 6 km away.
- Hostel Rohtorinne within walking distance.
- Orthodox Monastery of Valamo also has a hotel, it’s about 30 minute drive
from training hall, but definitely worth checking. They also have their own
winery and whisky distillery.
Some additional options listed (in Finnish) at heinavesi.fi/majoitu
You might want to book the hotel through your favourite booking service (such as agoda.com, booking.com, momondo.com or trivago.com), as the prices might be lower that way.
