Glass igloo holidays 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.

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.

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.

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.

Our Finland glass igloo packages include the following as standard:

• Accommodation
• Airport transfers (private transfers can be arranged)
• Half-board or full-board dining
• Arctic clothing for the duration of your trip
• Your choice of guided Arctic activities

Please note that flights are not included in our northern lights holiday packages. But if you’d like advice on the best airports and airlines to use when travelling to Finnish Lapland from the UK or the US, just let us know. We’ll be happy to help.

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.

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.

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.
