Sasu Laukkonen x Niesti Experience

Three exceptional evenings. Only ten seats each night. Once in a lifetime experience.

9.-11.9.2026 | Culture and entertainment

Rare evenings deserve an extraordinary chef. Sasu Laukkonen, one of Finland’s most acclaimed chefs and known for his Michelin-starred restaurants Chef & Sommelier and ORA, brings his cuisine to the top of Taalovaara fell.

Something special is happening at Niesti this September. Normally reserved exclusively for private events, Niesti will open its doors for three special evenings – offering guests a rare opportunity to reserve a seat at the Niesti table.

For these evenings, Sasu Laukkonen’s northern-inspired menu and stories come to life in one of Lapland’s most unique settings. Throughout his career, Sasu’s cuisine has been shaped by Finnish nature, local seasonal ingredients, craftsmanship and a genuine passion for hospitality.

The tasting menu is accompanied by a wine and beverage pairing created by sommelier and beverage professional Milja Reijonen. Each wine and beverage has been carefully designed to complement the dishes and enhance the flavours of the evening.

At Niesti, we have always believed that the most unforgettable moments are found in the stillness of nature, exceptional flavours, people gathered around the same table, and that rare feeling that, in that very moment, there is nowhere else you need to be.
