Wilderness Hotel Nangu & Igloos

We stayed at the Wilderness Hotel Nangu for 5 nights in December 2024. From the moment we arrived we were really impressed and were very excited about our stay. We had chosen to spend our first night in one of the Aurora log cabins and move to the Panorama log cabin for the remainder of our stay. Both rooms were good but the Panorama was fabulous and even better than the photos on the website- coming back after a day of activities it was amazing to be able to use the jacuzzi and sauna. The dining area/bar was lovely and the food was fantastic, really tasty and well presented. The staff were all great, very helpful and always smiling. The activities (we had the arctic experience package) were well organised and very enjoyable but thank goodness for the suits that the hotel provided as it was very cold on the days that we did the husky sleigh ride and snowmobile adventure. I would definitely recommend taking lots of layers and foot and hand warmers if you are doing these activities, because you aren't moving very much you can get cold very quickly. We saw the Northern lights briefly one night (we were alerted by the alarm that you can obtain from the reception for a smallish fee- definitely worth it) Due to Lake Inari not being fully frozen we did have to be driven to two of the activities and the lunch was venue was also changed. This wasn't a problem however as we got to see two of the other Wilderness hotels which were both nice although much 'livelier' as they are not adults only. If you want a more chilled/quieter experience then I would recommend Nangu. All in all we had the most amazing time and would return in a heartbeat. Nangu really is a magical place and the peace and the scenery is second to none. There is nothing I can think of which would have improved our experience

The staff was very friendly and willing to help on anything that you could need. The hotel and activities were amazing
