Glass igloo holidays in Finland: FAQs
When is the best time of year to book a northern lights igloo in Finland?
The northern lights are visible in Finnish Lapland from September to March. But if you like the idea of winter activities, it’s best to visit from December to March.
During winter, the nights are long. So you have an excellent chance of seeing the aurora borealis. You also get to see Finland transformed into a snowy wonderland.
If you’re unsure when to book your northern lights igloo holiday in Finland, just get in touch with the Aurora Nights team. We can recommend the best month to visit.

Is it cold inside a glass igloo?
No, it’s not. No matter how cold it gets outside, your glass igloo accommodation will be warm and cosy.
A thermal glass roof keeps your cabin warm and melts any snow, so you get crystal clear views of the night sky. The glass igloos on our northern lights holidays also come with a sauna or log fire.
Will there be a bathroom in my Finnish glass igloo?
Yes. Apart from the glass roof, your northern lights igloo is exactly like a normal hotel room. There’s a bathroom with a shower, a comfortable bed, tea and coffee-making facilities and solid walls to ensure your total privacy.
How much do igloo holidays in Finland cost?
The price of a northern lights igloo holiday depends on how many nights you’ll be staying and the time of year you choose to visit.
Glass igloo cabins tend to be more expensive than a Finnish log cabin or a hotel room. So if you want to maximise your budget, you can stay a night or two in a glass igloo before experiencing another style of accommodation.
Share your budget with the Aurora Nights team and we’ll recommend the best igloo options for your trip.
What’s included in a Finland glass igloo package?

- Airport transfers (private transfers can be arranged)
- Half-board or full-board dining

What can you see and do on glass igloo holidays in Finland?
During your stay at the igloo village, you can enjoy a host of incredible Arctic experiences. Here’s a taste of what you can see and do:
- Embark on a snowmobile adventure through pristine taiga forests. Or travel the old-fashioned way, mushing a team of huskies.
- Revitalise your body and mind. Plunge into an icy river before warming up in your own riverside sauna.
- Escape into nature. Go on a snowshoeing or cross-country skiing excursion, with only the sound of crunching snow underfoot.
- Venture into the Arctic wilderness with your northern lights guide, warming yourself with hot drinks by the fire as you wait for the aurora to appear.
- Make like a local. Try your hand at ice fishing before cooking your catch on an open fire.
- Head to a local reindeer farm to meet the animals and learn about Sámi culture. Then, take a magical sleigh ride through snowy scenery.
- Relax back at the igloo village. Sample traditional Finnish cuisine and warm up after winter activities by the roaring log fire.
Can I customise my Finland igloo holiday?
Absolutely. Every Aurora Nights holiday can be tailored to suit your requirements.
You can stay in a combination of aurora igloo, log cabin and hotel accommodation. You can also extend your northern lights holiday to include other destinations, within Finnish Lapland and beyond.

What should I wear on a northern lights igloo holiday?
During winter, temperatures in Finnish Lapland don’t rise above freezing. So people dress for warmth and comfort.
We provide warm Arctic outerwear for the duration of your trip. This includes a snow jacket, thermal overalls, snow boots and Arctic gloves.
We recommend that you bring thermals, lots of layers, a warm hat, gloves and thick socks. You’ll also need a winter coat for travel to and from the airport.

What a fantastic trip! I booked this for myself and my husband to celebrate my 40th birthday and it didn’t disappoint! Booking was simple and we were kept up to date with all the details from the office team in the UK.
From the moment we arrived at Kiruna airport all the staff we encountered were so friendly and couldn’t do enough for us. We opted for the upgraded room at the Abisko Mountain Lodge which I would highly recommend. The cold weather clothing which was supplied was fantastic and kept us really warm in the sub-zero temperatures. The dog sledging, snowmobiling and the Northern Lights photography were all superb and the staff leading the trips were really friendly and so knowledgeable. Even though we weren’t able to do the sky station trip because of the weather, there was a lovely alternative evening organised for us which included a traditional dinner and a walk to the lake where we were able to see the lights. The food at the lodge was also exceptional and showcased some lovely traditional dishes using Moose and Reindeer which were wonderful to try.
I would like to send a massive thank you to all the staff at The Abisko Mountain Lodge as well as the guides we used for our guided walks, dog sledging and snowmobiling. I’d highly recommend the trip, it was our first visit to Sweden and we would definitely return. Thanks again to everyone (including the huskies) who made it so memorable!

Hotel Ranga was perfect, with amazing food. It is in the middle of nowhere, very quiet and with the weather being bad there wasn’t the possibility of leaving the hotel in the evening so mightn’t suit all for that reason. Super Jeep tour we thoroughly enjoyed with 2 lovely guides.
Hotel Borg was in the perfect location. For us, one night in Reykjavik would be ample.
Blue Lagoon was a wonderful experience only heightened by the appearance of the northern lights on our walk home from dinner. All in all we had the best holiday and we plan to return to Iceland hopefully sooner rather than later.

This vacation has without without doubt, has been the best experience we have ever had. The organisation from the minute we landed in Kiruna until we departed at the close of our trip was second to none. The transition between hotels was always seamless and punctual. Everywhere we stayed was beautifully clean and the meals were top quality. Every driver was polite, entertaining and very knowledgeable, furnishing us with invaluable information about Sweden and the activities in which we were to participate. The snowmobiling was wonderful giving access via our guide, to stunning panoramic views of the mountain whilst viewing reindeer in their natural habitat.
Our guide demonstrated how to use the snowmobile safely he was pleasant and informative. When visiting the reindeer on the Sami reservation; we found the brother and sister team who hosted lovely. Again they were so hospitable and helpful and feeding the reindeer up close was a wonderful experience.
They provided additional activities for us to try and we were treated to a traditional Sami lunch in their hut. They provided us with invaluable information appertaining to their culture and caring for their reindeer. The reindeer were in superb condition and happy in their environment. Similarly, when out with the dog sleds the experience was magical. Two hours of beautiful scenery, and frozen lakes, finishing with a one-on-one experience massaging the dogs. Magic! We were so impressed with the care that was placed upon ensuring the dogs were comfortable, well-nourished and so loved by their owners/handlers.
Now to the photographic experience. A large group of us were treated to a demonstration of how to operate some serious camera equipment with tripod. Each of us was loaned the camera and given assistance setting up the camera on a frozen lake in preparation for the appearance of the Northern Lights. We were taken to this lake on large wooden sleighs pulled by a snowmobile. We cannot speak too highly of the two young men who accompanied us on this experience. They could not do enough for us. They were there to offer assistance with our cameras throughout the two-plus hours we were on this beautiful lake.
They advised where to position the camera and when the Lights appeared, what a performance. We had a two-hour display of this most breathtaking phenomenon. We were so fortunate to be able to experience this once-in-a-lifetime occurrence for which we are so grateful. We will never forget this memorable holiday and cannot thank you and everyone who assisted in making a lifetime dream come true. Karen & Andrew Adamson

We enjoyed both the hotels that were arranged by weekend a la Carte Aurora nights. The Porsmork trip was very enjoyable, both guides were fantastic and informative.
The Northern Light hunt trip out of Reykjavik with Superjeep was an adventure and we got to see the lights, worth braving the cold at -6.
David Rogers
Overall very good. Staff excellent and helpful. Accomodation basic but was what we expected. Tour guides very good (nature walks, snow mobiles, dog sleighs). Sky station disappointing as we never got to go up due to the weather and this seem to be a recurring feature.The alternative walk at night and meal was a let down as a result.Overall would recommend to others.
John Kirby
This was a bucket list trip. The company are specialists and I’ve valued their advice. Everything from the when to go for the best opportunity to see the lights and equipment needed and provided.Our activities included, the Ice Hotel, night photo shoot, snowmobiling, guided walk and the sky station meal. All excellent and well run by knowledgeable experts and guides. The Abisko Lodge is warm comfortable and relaxing the food is excellent and the staff welcoming, friendly and very helpful. I would highly recommend if you’re looking for a different and exciting experience.
Jean Lavender
Thoroughly enjoyed the trip. The Abisko Mountain Lodge was fantastic, every member of staff was friendly welcoming and charming. Accommodation, upgraded room was excellent. The food in the lodge definitely deserves the high reviews. Good breakfast, great hime made lunch soups and extremely tasty evening dinners.
The included trips were great. The only let down was the camera night, couldn’t see the lights no one fault, but we were walked through thigh high snow to be left on a frozen lake for the duration of the trip. There was no warning of the difficult walk and we had a 91 year old with us and I have hip problems! That said the guide was great, as were the ones on the skimobile and husky rides. We went up to the sky station in a snow storm with high winds, added to the experience!
Would go back in a heart beat.
We had little communication with Weekend a la carte, no need as all communications were clear and contained all the information we needed. Very informative emails
Would use again if going back
