Many miles from roads, or national suppliers of electricity and water, our lodge nonetheless provides many of the benefits of a luxury hotel, with the priceless addition of a pristine wilderness environment, unpolluted by artificial light or noise, the perfect setting for getting back to nature, discovering your true self, and tons of activities, all under the winter dark skies or the summer’s midnight sun.
Should you wish to apply for a position please send us a detailed cover letter and up to date CV. We thank all applicants for their interest, but only those selected for further consideration will be contacted.
