A hidden treasure in Lapland

How would you feel if you would be taken to a remote place far from others and you would be able to breathe the completely pure air and swim in (practically) drinkable and completely clear water? Would you love to go to a sandy beach in that kind of place? In Finnish Lapland, near the Pallas Fells there’s a place called “the Red Sand”. It has got its name from the reddish color of the beach sand. Actually it’s not officially a beach, it’s a wilderness hut which is situated in a very special place. The Red Sands used to be a hidden treasure very recently but due to social media it has become more and more popular. That also causes some erosion at the very special place. So I make a kind request: please preserve the nature and take your own trash with you. The place is located by the lake Pallasjarvi in Kittila, Finland. Actually you can only go there by car and navigate there by putting “punainenhiekka” to your navigator. I promise you: it’s a remote place in the middle of nowhere. But going there on a midsummer night may surprise you positively - especially if the night is clear. There is also a wilderness hut (in pictures) where you can cook and the wood is provided for free. #pallastunturi #pallas #finland #lapland #kittila #muonio #pallasjarvi #hiking#naturalwonders#roadtrip#summervacation#beachvacation#urbanexplorer

Husky-ride, what an experience. Enjoying the views and the love from the dogs. Thanks to ‘Husky Safaries’ we could not only enjoy the ride, but also stay warm by hugging those cute puppies. This was really a once in a lifetime adventure and I would recommend it to everyone! #givethanks

Golden Crown Hotel in Finland- Levin Iglut😍

#besthotels Living in a glass house in Finland for 10000 yuan, the scarf was stolen. Golden Crown is considered Levi's first glass house, but the living experience this time was very bad. The hotel has a total of 24 rooms (as shown on the map when flipping back). After checking in, we requested assistance in placing our luggage between the rooms. However, we pointed to the high platform in front of the door and said that there was a pushcart outside, which would be easier for you to use. So we dragged our luggage and climbed the stairs ourselves. At that time, my friends and I felt that the service and prices here did not match, but something outrageous happened during dinner. Here is an explanation that the restaurant and front desk are one place. Before dining, the staff asked us to hang our clothes on the hook directly opposite the front desk. I am wearing a black feather fleece outfit and a black fur scarf. After dinner, my scarf is missing! When asked by the front desk staff, she just casually said, 'Oh, I'll let you know if I find it.'. The next morning, I went to the front desk again, but the manager told me that I couldn't find it. He said this was a public area and irresponsible, and deceived me into not monitoring it. It wasn't until I went to remind the other members of the restaurant that I had lost my belongings and advised them to be careful behind me that another hotel staff member pulled me aside and told me that there was a surveillance footage available to check and asked me to wait a moment. The result is my scarf one hour later

Northern Lights Ranch

We absolutely loved our stay at the Northern Lights Ranch. Everything was so clean, peaceful and the staff here was exceptional. Kati at the reception was lovely and helped me with every question I had. She was always quick to assist, really nice and would always say hi to us. Chef Sami’s food was phenomenal! We loved every single bite and we’re never disappointed. What made breakfast and dinner more special was that he would come to the table and chat with you for a bit and explain the food and where it comes from. The dinning room is really romantic, and the perfect place to have a nice dinner with your significant other. The atmosphere here is incredible and it’s staff just makes this place even better.

We visited this week (November 2023) and had the most incredible time. We stayed in an Aurora suite and every night watched the Northern Lights dancing in the sky from our very own bed!! The tall glass windows are stunning and even if there aren't any lights, you have an incredible view of the starry sky. I have decided I want them in my future house. The food included in your stay is delicious. There is a huge selection of food items at the breakfast buffet included a waffle-making machine! Each night the dinner menu at the buffet changes and there are various options to choose from. The salmon is incredibly tasty so hopefully they have that available when you go. There are a lot of activities to choose from and the staff are very friendly. You can request a warm overall, socks and boots from reception once you arrive and I definitely recommend that you do so. They are such good quality that we could stay outside playing on the sledges for hours without feeling cold or getting wet.

Snow House Hotel in Finland, watching the Aurora in the indoor version of the snow, so romantic.

The Finnish Ice House Hotel is playing with snow indoors to see the northern lights. Everyone knows that Finland has an Arctic Circle. And build this group of igloos and glass houses in the Arctic Circle. The glass house in the middle is made of glass except for the ground. So it attracted a lot of stars to punch in. The igloo is even better. A semicircular house made of ice and snow. The temperature inside is not cold. You can play with snow not only outdoors, but also indoors. [Features]: House: Unlike other hotels, this is a house made of ice and snow.There are also houses made of transparent glass. [Service]: The service here is very good. After booking, the service staff will boil hot water in advance and put it in the room. There will also be several different sizes of masks, all free of charge. There are cotton masks, N95 mask, and ordinary masks. [Sauna]: Each igloo or glass house has a separate bathroom. This bathroom is made of wood. There is a warm wind blowing all day. It's like a sauna.[Ice Fishing]: This hotel offers paid fishing. Crews will create holes in their open ice. After that, I will give you cotton clothes, stools, gloves, hats, and suspenders and bait. For couples or families there is a small BBQ grill. [Restaurant]: The hotel has several restaurants. What people often go to is that all the kitchen utensils and counters are made of ice. But the outer buildings are still made of wood. Because this restaurant is warmer. There is also a restaurant that is an igloo restaurant made entirely of snow. With the romantic atmosphere,Lights and music. The other is an ice restaurant made entirely of ice cubes. Both tables and stools are made of ice cubes, which is very distinctive. And the last traditional restaurant. There are many fireplaces in the dining room. Wooden dining room with lots of fireplaces, very warm inside. The overall cuisine of the restaurant is mainly barbecue and traditional Finnish food, which can be experienced, but if the stomach is not good, do not eat these foods, eat some fruit is the best. In order to play healthily and happily for the rest of the journey.[Bar]: The hotel has its own bar. It is a bar dominated by black tones. After entering, the light is very dim. A lot of couples come here because it's easier to have feelings for each other in a dark atmosphere. [Hiking]: This is also a tour program offered by the hotel. There will be a special person in charge of the hotel to take tourists on foot in the Arctic Circle of Finland to see the cherry sea and the snow-covered jungle. [Library]: The hotel also has a library.But the books in it are all written in Finnish. When I got here, I picked up a book, drank coffee, read a book, and asked my friends to take pictures for me. Finland is full of atmosphere. [Gifts]: There is an area in the lobby. All kinds of presents like Christmas. These gifts are wrapped in different colors. Every visitor here can choose one for himself. [Children's Room]: It is very friendly for children, and there is a special area for children to play. There is a special person in charge who will lead the children to play board games and puzzles together. It will be served at noon.There will be a lot of cartoon animation on the screen. [Pet Service]: When you arrive here, just tell the hotel in advance that you have a small animal with you. They will prepare water bowls and food for pets. And thoughtfully put in a new pet blanket. The front desk will give you a pet's collar and rope when you check out. It's really very good. [Travel]: After arriving at the airport in Finland, it is quite a distance from the hotel.

Finland - Golden Crown Iglu

Eco-friendly hotel!

After a few days, I finally got a summer feeling in the Arctic Circle. The Levi Lake and the locals are just as open to the short and beautiful summer in Northern Finland. It is also a variety of water sports. Boating, swimming and drinking beer are quiet and quiet. Was wasted flowing in the blue sky of blue azure lake
