welcome to

outfield

The wilderness camp. That's what our sanctuary was called for a long time.
But that name doesn't really say much anymore.
This isn't about some camp with loads of tourists.

It's about fire, silence, winter darkness and pure spring water.
About being alone with nature, far from everything else.
So we started calling it the Outerlands instead.
That suits better.

the water

The water changes the rhythm in Utmarken.
Out here, everything feels a bit clearer.

Fire

Fire is the heart of the Outlands.
The heat, the light and the life here revolve around it.

The seasons

The landscape changes with the seasons.
The light, the snow and the air make every season unique.

What is Utmarken?

The outlands lie where the road has ended.
No electricity. No running water. No buzzing.
Just the forest, the sky, and a silence that's hard to find anywhere else.
It's built around what has always been: the fire that warms, the water that cleanses, the food that is cooked slowly over an open flame by hands that know how.

Surrounding you are three nature reserves, abundant wildlife, and hiking trails that lead you deeper in. A river flows through the area: pure, cold water from the ground, perfectly drinkable.

The seasons do their own work here. Winters with snow and starry skies. Northern lights dancing above the treetops. Springs and summers where the light barely disappears. Autumns with the heavy scent of moss and earth, the forest full of mushrooms if you just know where to look.

Every season changes the wilderness: the light, the feeling, what you hear when you pause. It suits those who seek something real. The warmth of a wood-fired bath under an open sky. A meal cooked outdoors, in the darkness or the midnight light. Nights without artificial light. The silence.

Welcome outside.

experiences in the wilderness

A Sparkling Winter's Tale

Under the stars

The journey begins with a sleigh through the winter darkness, wrapped in furs with burning torches illuminating the snow. Away from the village and deeper into the forest, to silence and peace.

In the wilderness, the fire awaits. We're cooking dinner outdoors over an open flame. Everything tastes better cooked on a Muurikka. The aroma of freshly prepared food mingles with the cold, crisp air. Above you, the starry sky stretches out, and with a bit of luck, the Northern Lights will dance above the treetops.

When the fire has died down, we'll head back, with the option of an overnight stay at our guesthouse.

A WILDER SPA

The Nordic Bath

You are welcomed with tea brewed from wild herbs from the forest.
The day begins with a walk through the nature reserve, with a guide and with nature close all around.

Out in the wilderness, ablution awaits. Outdoors, with pure spring water from the stream, you will scrub your skin clean with organic natural products before stepping into the water. This is how it was done, long before we spoke of spas.

Sauna, wood-fired hot tub and cold dips. Hot and cold, alternating, you'll soon get into the rhythm. A crisp bathrobe always awaits outside.

The day concludes with a dinner cooked outdoors over an open fire. You take the spa kit home as a souvenir.

IN THE WILD

Glamping in a lumberjack's cottage

A small timbered cabin in the middle of the wilderness. No electricity, nothing to hum or glow. Just the forest, the stove, and a comfortable double bed with proper duvets. As soon as you step out the door, you have nature.
You light the small stove yourself and you get a breakfast basket with it.
