A New Chapter Begins at Pärnävaara!

The Pärnävaara development project has officially begun! Its goal is to strengthen the area’s appeal and expand the range of services available to both locals and domestic and international visitors. The project is co-funded by the ELY Centre.

The development focuses on two complementary areas:

• Strategic investments in Pärnävaara’s infrastructure and services
  The aim is to upgrade the basic facilities and services to meet the needs of year-round use and growing tourism.
• Creating an innovative tourism concept
  This concept will bring together the area’s services and activities into one clear, accessible package that caters to a wide variety of target groups.

As part of the project, a new restaurant, conference, and accommodation complex – approximately 800 square meters – will be built next to the main building. Completion is scheduled for next November. MyyInvest Oy is investing around €1.3 million in the Pärnävaara facilities. The current 160 m² cafe building will be expanded by about 600 m² of new space.

The new building will feature seven accommodation units, as well as meeting rooms, a lobby, and kitchen facilities. It will provide lodging for 25–30 guests. The goal is to attract various companies as clients for the accommodation and restaurant services. When combining the new and existing facilities, events for up to 150 people can be organized.

In the long term, the development project aims to strengthen Pärnävaara’s position as an attractive hub for sports, tourism, and events – a destination that is both easily accessible and versatile in its use.
