Sollia GjestegÄrd HOTEL
( 78 99 08 20; www.storskog.no ; 1-/2-bed apt Nkr1090/1490, 2- to 4-bed cabins Nkr1050-1690, s/d
Nkr650/800)
The Sollia, 13km southeast of Kirkenes, was originally constructed as a tuberculosis sanat-
orium and you can see why. The air could scarcely be more pure or the atmosphere more
relaxed at this wonderful getaway haven. The whole family can sweat it out in the sauna
and outdoor tub, while children will enjoy communing with the resident huskies. Just be-
low, beside the lake, its Gapahuken restaurant is just as enticing.
Thon Hotel Kirkenes HOTEL
( MAP GOOGLE MAP ; 78 97 10 50; www.thonhotels.no/kirkenes ; s/d from Nkr595/795; )
This newish waterside hotel is Thon-boxy from the exterior. Within, though, it's open, vast
and exciting, offering great views of the sound and a cluster of laid-up Russian trawlers.
The restaurant is just as architecturally stimulating, and you could easily dangle a line
from the open-air terrace.
