Sleeping under the Northern Lights

Saariselkä, Lapland, Finland

250 km north of the Arctic Circle
Who likes standing in the bitter cold of polar nights while waiting for the Northern Lights?
From your glass igloo, you can watch the bright green glow of the northern lights dance across the clear sky while you snuggle up in your blanket.
The Arctic Igloo Village is located 250 km north of the Arctic Circle and is one of the best places in the world to observe the Northern Lights. It is located on the edge of the remote Finnish wilderness, on the Arctic Ocean Road, just a stone's throw from one of Finland's largest national parks, Urho Kekkonen National Park.

The area has been inhabited by the Sami people for over a hundred years and is one of the most untouched areas in the world. You can drink the pure water directly from the mountain rivers and lakes, and the fresh air will do you good.
The Northern Lights are visible from the last week of August to the last week of April, but they are dependent on the weather, as are the activities.
The Kakslauttanen Arctic Resort was designed with a love for the solitude and authenticity of Lapland. Nature and Lapland are ever-present. The igloos and cabins are located in the middle of nature, yet all restaurants and other services are within walking distance. And since you are in Finland, every accommodation naturally has a sauna and a fireplace. In addition, all accommodations are equipped with a northern lights alarm and 4G Wi-Fi. Smoking is prohibited. You can buy small snacks and drinks at the reception.
