Chasing the Northern Lights at Finland Arctic Resort

Chasing the Northern Lights at Finland Arctic Resort

Saariselkä Fell region of Finnish Lapland is home to a unique and authentic Kakslauttanen Arctic Resort.

Set deep in nature, the resort offers its guests a choice between traditional chalets and glass igloos when it comes to accommodation.

Kakslauttanen is one of the best locations for watching the northern lights – in the whole world.

Winter Wonderland in a Finnish Forest

The resort offers a number of activities, depending on the time of your visit. If you come in the winter, then snowmobiling and bathing in an ice hole are a given.

Reindeer safaris and skiing are also popularly chosen.

The northern lights can be observed almost throughout an entire year – from August until April.

Traditional Nordic Accommodation

As mentioned above, you may reserve a wood chalet for your party with a choice of various accommodation sizes.

A chalet is a traditional wooden house typical for Alpine Europe. It’s also dubbed the Swiss chalet.

If you’d like to try something completely different, you may reserve yourself a thermal glass igloo.

Igloos also vary in sizes and the number of beds, and allow you to enjoy the magical view during your entire stay.

Get the Best of Both Worlds

You may even reserve yourself a so-called kelo-glass igloo, which combines the familiar comfort of a house and the view only an igloo may offer.

Finland Is Known for Its Saunas

Six saunas are available, and each one includes a room for relaxation and an open fireplace. In fact, the resort is the location of the world’s largest smoke sauna.

The Food to Look Forward to

Kakslauttanen Arctic Resort has two à la carte restaurants. If you seek to try something local, Laplandic specialties such as reindeer and char-grilled salmon are a popular choice.

The smoke sauna also has its own separate restaurant, called Savusauna.

What Awaits You Indoors?

Each accommodation has its own private bathroom and a small kitchen. The chaletes also each have a fireplace and a private sauna.

Built from the Kelo Pine Trees, the Chalets Maintain a Rugged, Traditional Look

Both the interior and exterior of these traditional houses retain the rustic style which perfectly matches the surrounding wilderness.

Santa’s Queen Suite

Quirky shapes and the deep reds of this Queen suite remind us of Santa Claus, candies, and holiday merriment.
