Glass igloo in Finland—several nights under the northern sky

Ivalo, Lapland, Finland

Best time for auroras: October to March

Winter Getaway in a Glass Igloo with a Package Program | 5 to 8 days / 4 to 7 nights | Boutique resort near Ivalo, Finnish Lapland | Winter season: December 1 through April 10 | Full board, thermal clothing, and airport transfers included

They are already in bed when a green arch appears above the snow-covered pine trees. The laser-heated glass roof offers a view of the winter sky, and when the aurora grows brighter, just stay where you are. You won't be staying here for just one night, but for the duration of your entire stay in a heated Glass Igloo in Finland: Four to seven nights under the panoramic roof, about 290 kilometers north of the Arctic Circle.

Who this trip is for: For couples, the 28-square-meter Aurora Chalet is the classic choice; those who prefer a separate living area should choose the two-story Aurora Tower Chalet. Friends and families with children ages 12 and up will find space for up to six people in the Sky Suite and the Tower Suite, both of which feature separate sleeping areas. All accommodations are cozy cabins with laser-heated panoramic glass roofs; the suites and chalets feature private bathrooms, are fully heated, and are built to withstand the Arctic winter.

What makes this place so appealing: The Northern Lights require darkness, a clear sky, and solar activity. A stay of four or more nights therefore gives you several evenings to observe them, and the Aurora Alert notifies you as soon as the resort’s automated sky camera detects activity.

The packages combine the glass igloo with a fully organized winter program: depending on your selection, this includes a husky safari, reindeer sleigh ride, snowmobiling, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, ice fishing, sauna, and a Northern Lights tour. Full board, thermal clothing, and transfers to and from Ivalo Airport are included; the drive takes about 20 minutes. We’ll review your options in advance to determine which package and accommodations best suit your travel duration, group size, and desired activity level. 5 days / 4 nights starting at €2,363 per person based on double occupancy, excluding flights; we’d be happy to book suitable flights for you as well.

For the days before or after your trip, the area around Ivalo is well worth exploring. About 40 minutes north of the airport lies Inari, the center of Sámi culture in Finland, home to the Siida Museum, which showcases the history and present-day life of the Sámi; the open-air museum is open year-round, weather permitting. Just 25 kilometers from the airport, the Urho Kekkonen National Park begins at Saariselkä, featuring about 200 kilometers of groomed cross-country ski trails and Finland’s longest toboggan run. Feel free to contact us—we’ll be happy to put together a personalized itinerary for your pre- or post-trip activities.

Entry Requirements: German citizens need only a valid ID card or passport. You can find the latest travel and safety advisories for Finland from the Federal Foreign Office. Regulations may vary for other nationalities. Please feel free to contact us.

Weather and Clothing: In winter, temperatures in Finnish Lapland can drop well below freezing. Thermal coveralls, winter boots, wool socks, gloves, and a balaclava will be provided for the duration of your stay; please bring your own warm underwear and clothing for your arrival and departure.

Type of trip: Winter trip in a glass igloo with a set itinerary in Ivalo, Finnish Lapland, about 290 kilometers north of the Arctic Circle. The package includes four to seven nights, full board, thermal clothing, and airport transfers; the resort is intended for guests ages 12 and older.

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Aurora Alert under the glass roof —As soon as the automatic sky camera detects northern lights activity, Aurora Alert notifies you, and the laser-heated panoramic roof keeps the view clear of snow and ice.
  • A Plexiglas Sled Ride to See the Northern Lights – A snowmobile pulls the heated sled, which seats six people, to a spot where the Northern Lights are often visible in the sky; hot drinks and your tour guide’s stories are included.
  • In your own husky sled team – At a family-run husky farm, you'll learn how to steer, then you'll ride in pairs: one person steers, one sits, and you switch roles halfway through the route.
  • A Horse-Drawn Sleigh Ride Through the Winter Forest – A Finnish horse will pick you up right at the resort, and, wrapped in warm blankets, you’ll enjoy a one-hour ride through the snow-covered forest.
  • A hole in the river ice – Ride a snowmobile to the right spot on the frozen river, then drill through the thick ice and lure the fish.
  • Sauna with a glass roof and ice swimming —The panoramic sauna offers a view of the starry sky, the outdoor hot tub is located on the terrace, and in the wooden sauna, you can cool off in the ice just like the Finns do.
  • Northern Lights Tour Based on the Weather Forecast – Your guide will check the forecast and drive you to the spot where the sky is clearest; you’ll receive a link to the photos from the evening.
  • Reindeer Antler Souvenir – In the craft workshop, you’ll work with reindeer antlers and leather under the guidance of an instructor and take your own creation home with you.

Your Glass Igloo Trip to Finnish Lapland

Which glass igloo is right for your stay? Are four nights enough, or would you prefer the quieter week? And which flight to Ivalo gives you enough time for your layover?

We coordinate your accommodations, package, flights, and transfers. Upon request, we can add extra nights before or after your trip, and we’ll remain your point of contact throughout the trip in case of changes to flight times or connections.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I see the Northern Lights from my bed?

Yes. Depending on your accommodations, the bed may be located directly beneath a heated glass roof. Whether the Northern Lights appear, however, depends on cloud cover and solar activity. We explain what happens in the sky in our article , “Everything You Need to Know About the Northern Lights.”

Is it cold inside the glass igloo in winter?

No. The chalets and suites are fully heated and have private bathrooms. The windows are also heated to ensure that snow and ice interfere with the view as little as possible.

Can I book just one night in the glass igloo?

No. The trips we offer include four to seven nights, full board, transfers, and a winter program. We do not offer a single night in an igloo.

When is the best time to visit?

December through March are particularly well-suited for a trip focused on winter activities. December and January have very short days; February and March combine dark nights with significantly more daylight. For more planning tips, see our travel advice for a Northern Lights trip to Finland.

Which airport is the closest?

The nearest airport is Ivalo. The drive to the resort takes about 20 minutes.

Is there a guarantee that the Northern Lights will appear?

No. No resort can guarantee this natural phenomenon. However, staying for several nights increases the number of evenings when you might be able to see it.

What kind of lodging is best for couples?

The 28-square-meter Aurora Chalet is usually sufficient for two people. If you'd like a separate living area or more space, you can choose an Aurora Tower Chalet.

Can families live in a glass igloo?

The resort is suitable for guests ages 12 and older. The Sky Suite and Tower Suite can accommodate up to six people and feature separate sleeping areas.

Are winter clothes and meals included?

Yes. The advertised packages include full board and thermal clothing. Beverages are included only if they are specifically mentioned in the description of the service. Our packing list for the Northern Lights trip lists everything else you should pack yourself.

How far in advance should I book the glass igloo?

We recommend planning early for Christmas, New Year’s Eve, and the highly sought-after weeks in February and March. Certain types of accommodations are available in limited quantities. Outside of these periods, there may still be options available on short notice, which we will review on a case-by-case basis.

Can Inventia book the flights?

Yes. Upon request, we can arrange flights to Ivalo, seating assignments, any necessary overnight stays, and all connections to match the resort package.

What documents do I need to enter Finland?

German citizens need a valid national ID card or passport to enter Finland. You can find the latest travel and safety advisories on the website of the Federal Foreign Office. Different regulations may apply to citizens of other countries. Please feel free to contact us.

What types of insurance do you recommend for this trip?

We recommend travel cancellation insurance as well as international health insurance that includes medically necessary repatriation. We would be happy to advise you on the right coverage options.

Do I need a driver's license for the snowmobile safari?

Anyone who wants to drive a snowmobile themselves must have a valid driver’s license and be at least 18 years old. Typically, two people share a snowmobile and take turns driving. For an additional fee, single-rider use can be booked, subject to availability. Passengers do not need a driver’s license. The deductible for damages is a maximum of €1,200 per snowmobile and accident.

Can activities be canceled due to the weather?

Yes. In Lapland, heavy snowfall, extreme cold, or other weather conditions may necessitate a change. In such cases, the local tour operator will decide whether to postpone, modify, or offer an alternative based on safety considerations. The specific procedure depends on the terms of the booked package. In some cases, the duration of an activity begins as soon as winter clothing is distributed and the safety briefing is given.
