Probably the most beautiful natural wonder in the entire globe.

Watching the NORTHERN LIGHTS in the village of TRANSPARENT IGLOOS

It’s a show seen from the front row but it is not a film or a concert. We are talking about the Northern Lights, probably the most beautiful natural wonder in the entire globe. It is well known that it is an indescribable sight but that it is possible to observe it from a warm and comfortable igloo, it is for many a discovery.

# Hotel Kakslauttanen: a small panoramic village

Not far from the North Pole there is a small village made up of glass igloos. This is where the projection of the most beautiful natural film in the world takes place, visible to the naked eye without the aid of special equipment. There are few places in the world where the Northern Lights are visible, most of them have arctic temperatures and only one reserves the privilege of seeing it while lying comfortably in bed: the Kakslauttanen Hotel.

# An elite night between Queen Aurora and her daughters

Nestled in a National Park in Northern Finland, the Hotel offers a panoramic “terrace” of the Northern Lights that is better than any imaginable. But if the Aurora Borealis is the queen of the village, the millions of stars that embellish the sky free from any kind of light pollution are her beautiful daughters. Between the queen and her princesses, feeling in a royal home is not difficult and a personal sauna inside the igloo transforms the mere sensation into a concrete and relaxing reality.

# A hefty bill for a priceless show

During your stay, the resort offers adventure experiences as well as relaxation, such as unforgettable Arctic safaris. In addition, guests can discover the wild Finnish nature and for them there are snowmobiles, huskies or even the sweetest reindeer available.

“But doesn’t the contrast between the heat inside and the freezing cold outside make the glass in the igloo fog up?”. The question arises spontaneously but we don’t have to worry about this either, because the heated windows are designed to remain perfectly clear despite the thermal shock.

Clearly, the price to pay for this trip cannot be affordable: $600 to $700 for one night. And you, would you be willing to spend these amounts to enjoy a show that is priceless?
