Glass-domed igloos, the Northern Lights and the deep Finnish wilderness—sound tempting? At Kakslauttanen each warm, cozy igloo features a private bathroom, comfortable beds for two and a large glass dome that allows you to watch the sky and stars from the comfort of your bed. Separate facilities nearby include men’s and women’s showers and saunas. If you need more space, choose from traditional log cabins that sleep up to ten guests. Built from massive kelo pines that were harvested after naturally drying while standing in the forest, these cabins include fireplaces and private saunas for a truly authentic, comfortable stay.
There is also a historic, traditionally styled log house approaching its hundredth year. It accommodates two adults and two children and includes its own sauna, offering a compact family retreat. For the holiday season you can stay in Santa’s Home and enjoy classic winter transport like reindeer rides and sleigh trips. For more adventurous guests, lodging options extend to snow igloos furnished with insulated down sleeping bags to keep you warm through the night.
Relaxation extends beyond your accommodation. Enjoy one of three separate smoke saunas, take a brisk dip in an ice-edged lake, or savor regional Lappish cuisine at the Snow Restaurant. Outdoor activities are plentiful: skiing, snowshoeing, sledding and seasonal hiking and cycling are all available and can be arranged on site. To make travel easier, a full range of winter sport clothing and equipment is available to rent, so you don’t need to overload your suitcase.
