Northern Lights Igloo Village

The Aurora Borealis are one of the most spectacular natural phenomena, displaying waves of greens, yellows and reds that seem to dance across the darkened sky. To stand a better chance of seeing this astonishing light show, you need a northerly location with clear skies that are unpolluted by artificial light. If you are in search of the Northern Lights, the Igloo Village in Lapland is the perfect base. Situated in Arctic Finland, the resort not only provides picturesque snow-covered landscapes and a remote location ideal for a sighting, but also the chance to experience unique accommodation, exciting excursions and a variety of activities. For a night-time showing of the Northern Lights the Igloo Village offers Aurora excursions and a night in a glass igloo, where guests can snuggle up in the warmth and expectantly look through the clear glass walls towards the heavens, waiting for the Aurora to make an appearance.

As well as excursions to see the Northern Lights the Igloo Village is in a prime location to offer its guests a multitude of other thrilling activities. Take an enchanting sleigh ride across the snow pulled by your very own reindeer, embrace the cold with some ice swimming or express your artistic talents with some snow and ice carving. The resort also features its own husky farm, which provides safaris of varying durations and even teaches you to how to control the husky pack yourself. In addition to exciting activities and aiding your chances of seeing the Northern Lights, the Igloo Village and Hotel Kakslauttanen also boast a range of unique facilities where you can discover traditional Scandinavian culture, experience arctic living or simply relax. The resort has four restaurants, including a snow restaurant and ice bar where you can sample regional delicacies, the world’s largest smoke sauna, equipment rental and even a souvenir shop where you can buy authentic Lappish crafts. During your stay, you will have the choice of one unforgettable night in a thermal glass igloo or a traditional igloo made entirely out of snow. For the rest of your time in Lapland, you will be housed in a comfortable log cabin which comes with a number of individual amenities including a fireplace, sauna and garden area.
