Our chefs have carefully planned set menus inspired by our natural surroundings and with Arctic Bath’s wellness focus in mind. Our chefs prepare a daily changing five course set menu based on local ingredients, with signature dishes including lightly smoked capercaille, Gahkku (Sámi flat bread) and Gompa (a Sámi dish with Arctic Angelica and sour milk).

Local products used at Arctic Bath include dairy products, honey, beef and fresh herbs from Vuollerim (40km from the restaurant), chicken and lamb from Strömnäsgården (10km from the restaurant), oil and mustard from nearby Tornedalen and reindeer, moose, wild birds, fish, berries and dried herbs from the surrounding nature in Norrbotten. All of the meat and fish served at the hotel comes from the wild, so there are no traces of pesticides or antibiotics.

Growing up in her native Sweden, Kerstin saw firsthand the connections between mind and body, energy and health, earth and well-being, and she knew that it all began with nature. Inspired by outer beauty as a reflection of inner health and into a holistic approach to well-being the connection with Arctic Bath was totally genuine and right.

With Arctic Bath, with their cold bath, the nature and heritage we could find that link using all your senses being here it will guide you to the ultimate state of wellness.
