Panimo Bar is a secret bolthole for locals wanting to escape the harsh, Lappish weather. If you don’t have the hard cash for drinks or accommodation, you can pay in pieces of gold or gold dust, to be found in the rivers in surrounding Saariselkä.

A couple of grammes of this most noble of materials will buy you unlimited time at the bar chatting to the eccentric gold-fingered locals in their furry wolfskin coats.
