Time and stories come to life

Café Vaaran Tupa is more than just a café – it’s a place that breathes the tales of times past. This log cabin, built in 1937, served as a summer workplace for writer Veikko Huovinen during his youth when he worked as a fire watchman on Vuokatinvaara. You can step into the same space where inspiring stories were born and where history still lives strongly.

Culinary delights from local ingredients

Café Vaaran Tupa’s hot cocoa and Vaaran doughnut are customer favorites. The hot cocoa warms both the mind and body, while the freshly baked doughnut adds a sweet touch to your day. The café is licensed to serve alcohol, so you can spice up your cocoa just the way you like it.
