Enjoy Life on the Crater Shore
Kraatteri Resort's chalet apartments are located on the shores of Lappajärvi, beside Europe's largest meteorite crater. The surroundings are truly exceptional: the lake was formed approximately 78 million years ago by a massive meteorite impact, the traces of which are still visible in the landscape today. The area's geological and cultural significance has been recognised internationally — Kraatterijärvi Geopark received UNESCO Global Geopark status in 2024.
The chalet apartments are designed for relaxed, easy living. They offer more space than a traditional hotel room, and most units include their own kitchen. Kraatteri Resort's setting is ideal for golf travellers, couples, and small groups who value their own rhythm and effortless comfort.

A Touch of History
Each apartment has its own name and story, drawing inspiration from the sights, history, and local tales of the surrounding Kraatterijärvi Geopark. The inspiration comes from the cultural heritage of the lake region, traditional crafts, folk stories, and natural formations — places and events that have left their mark on the identity of this area.
The chalet apartments are located at Nykälänniemi on the shores of Lappajärvi.
From the private shoreline dock, it's easy to jump in for a refreshing swim on hot summer days.
The Perfect Golf Holiday
Staying in the chalet apartments is part of a complete holiday experience. Nearby you'll find a golf course, nature trails, events, and local attractions — but you can just as easily stop, gaze out over the lake, and let time pass. On the crater shore, a holiday isn't a to-do list; it's exactly as long and as leisurely as you want it to be.
Nykälänniemi is an ideal base for a golf holiday, as the back nine of Järviseudun Golf runs right past the apartments. The morning can start straight on the course, and after your rounds it's easy to return to rest or enjoy the lake views. Spacious apartments, a fully equipped kitchen, and a peaceful setting make longer stays effortless too.
