The glass igloos of the Hotel Kakslauttanen

Igloo of the Hotel Kakslauttanen

I still remember when I was in elementary school how I liked to imagine what it would be like to live in an igloo and drew igloos with Eskimos ice fishing while they waited patiently sitting in a wooden box for the fish to pass under the ice sheet. But of course, this was just a way of imagining what igloos were like. Now, I can imagine different ones, the glass igloos of the Hotel Kakslauttanen.

When I discovered this hotel with glass igloos I fell in love with the place immediately and when I discovered everything they hide behind them and what you can enjoy thanks to its glass domes ... it is still better than I imagined at first.

But despite being far from everything, they have excellent communication so at no time will you feel like you are lost in the middle of nowhere.

Accommodation

Hotel Kakslauttanen

In addition to the igloos in this area of ​​Lapland you can also find great and comfortable cabins that are also included in the middle of nature. What is sought with igloos and cabins is to respect nature as much as possible so that the hotel is like a fusion between tourism and respect for nature.

Although the cabins are also beautiful and comfortable and will make you be in the middle of nature with incredible views, I personally would choose to stay twice without hesitation in the glass igloos.

It should be noted that although the hotel sells that you can see the Northern Lights, it does not guarantee a vision of it, since although they maintain a constant watch over the weather conditions, you never know if you can see it depending on how the sky is. Although they have everything well planned, since if it is seen, They ring a signaling bell for visitors so they can look up at the sky the moment the marvelous phenomenon is visible.
