What is Finland glass igloo?
Glass igloo in Finland is a romantic hotel to enjoy the sky, Lapland scenery and the Northern lights.
It is a little cabin built from insulated thermal glass / or log cabin with glass celling and panoramic view. Igloos are electrically heated and keep warmth inside. Do not be afraid of Lapland extremely low temperatures during winter inside an igloo. Glass Igloos also designed with privacy keeping in mind. Some of them equipped with curtains, other with “frozen glass” and all facing some open space to provide amazing views. Usually Igloo has a small wc, some also have shower. Luxury Igloos might have bathroom, kitchenette, and even private sauna. Classical igloos fitted for 2 (max 4) persons. But it is possible also to stay in more comfortable and spacious glass lodge with up to 6 sleeps (Kelo-Glass igloos Kakslauttanen Arctic Resort, for example). Nowadays Glass Igloos are incredibly popular in Finland. New Igloo appear every year with glass cabins in many sizes, shapes and design. Some new glass lodge has fully equipped kitchen, sauna, and even hot tubes outside to have truly great experience. It is also possible to find Northern lights lodge for limited budget, like Lake Inari Mobile Cabins.
Where igloo hotels are located?
The idea of glass igloos is to enjoy the Northern Lights. So all glass igloo in Finland are located in Finnish Lapland, within the Aurora Zone, around or to the north of the Arctic Circle.
Some of igloos destinations are located on Finnish ski resorts: Levi, Luosto, Pyhä. Few can be found near Santa Claus village. Sometime igloos are located in the middle of nowhere (Muotka Igloos, Lake Inari Mobile Cabins). Or igloo resort might be a holiday destination itself (like Kakslauttanen Arctic Resort Igloos) with range of activities provided. All igloo resorts have their specialities. You can choose the place according the activities or views you would like to experience.
How to get there?
Finnish Lapland is easily reachable from any point of the globe.
Easiest way to visit Lapland all year round: take a flight to Helsinki airport in Finland and then connection flight to few of the Lapland airports: # Rovaniemi airport - the central hub of Lapland. Igloos located near: Arctic Tree House Hotel, Arctic Glass Igloos Sinettä, Snowman World Glass Resort apartment, Santa's Igloos Arctic Circle, Olokolo mobile sleeping nest, Kemi snow hotel, Seaside Glass Villa, Kemi. # Kittilä airport.. Igloos located near: Golden Crown Levin Iglut (Igloo). # Ivalo airport. Igloos located near: Kakslauttanen Arctic Resort Igloos, Northern Lights Village Saariselka, Muotka Igloos, Wilderness Aurora lodge, Aurora Village Ivalo, Lake Inari Mobile Cabins. Another way to get to Lapland from Helsinki is to take comfortable night train (Santa Claus train it called) to Rovaniemi, Kemijärvi or Kolari.
Is it really possible to see the Northern Lights lights from glass igloo?
Although the glass igloos accommodation providers does not guarantee the Northern Lights on the sky during your stay, many places provide Aurora alarm service.
To increase your chances to see the Northern lights, there are a lot of Aurora forecast mobile apps and services available. Glass Igloos locations in Finland provides best opportunities for observing Northern lights.
Is igloo hotel worth the money?
Price for igloos is quite high. And it is extremely popular.
Price for 2 night igloo stay might be as high as 1 week log cottage holiday in Finland just in few km from the igloo place. Keep in mind that you are paying for an experience! Some igloos may be quite modest with limited facilities and lower price, but great views and unforgeable memories. How to get best deals for Igloos?
Yes, igloo prices can be quite high during peak seasons. Igloos Last Minute deals can offer prices with discounts up to 50%!
What is experience and activities in Lapland around the igloo hotels?
Visiting Finnish Lapland is not just sitting at an Igloo or cabin and waiting for Northern lights.
Glass Igloo stay can be just 1 of many possible activities and experiences in Lapland worth to try during your holidays in Finland. It can be added as an extra night or 2 to your Lapland holidays.
How long should be Lapland holidays?
Welcome to Finnish Lapland!
To feel Finland and Lapland in its best, it make sense to spend 1 day in Helsinki (for example, between connection flights).
1-2 nights at Glass Igloo. 2-3 nights at classical Finnish log cabin/holiday cottage. This time should be enough to see and do main Lapland attractions and activities and feel the Arctic. Total – 5-6 days as an recommendation. |
