kcsv: It was an experience out of the world during our stay here. We arrived early wanting to drop our bags but they allowed us to check in early anyway as our room was ready. The cabin itself was clean and spacious enough for 2 people. The bathroom floor was heated which was nice. We got to even see the northern lights from our bed even though it only lasted for less than a minute. One thing to note is cabins are located quite near to one another and with the glass panels, you don't get total privacy. Make sure to request for a cabin off the stretch of main road to have more privacy. We had breakfast and dinner here. Options were quite limited but understandable given the location. All dishes were labelled clearly, and we had no issues as vegetarians. We even saw some neighbourhood squirrels enjoying their breakfast. The place is very modern and managed commercially as a business, with everything extra requiring extra charges (you may even pay for staff to pick up your bags from your cabin to the main reception, which is a 2-5 min walk affair). Despite this, we think it's still worth trying out for a night to have something that's different.

Skiing amidst the snow forests of Lapland. ⛷️ Levi, Finland 🇫🇮 Skiing through Lapland’s snowy forests with a chance to catch the Northern Lights 🌌❄️ Our next destination is Levi, Finland 🤍 This time, we’re trading the towering peaks of the Alps for the enchanting atmosphere of Finnish Lapland—think dense pine forests, pristine white snow, and those iconic Arctic winter nights. ⛷️ Skiing Through the Snowy Forest Levi offers slopes for all levels, but the real highlight is the scenery. You’ll be surrounded by pine trees so heavily draped in snow they look completely white. At times, it feels like you’re gliding through a literal ice kingdom. 🚡 Take the Gondola for Epic Lapland Views Hop on the gondola and look back as you ascend; you’ll see vast forests and a blanket of white stretching to the horizon. It’s a distinct landscape that sets it apart from typical high-altitude alpine resorts. 🌌 Chasing the Northern Lights One of the best things about Levi is the "two-for-one" experience. After a day on the slopes, you can spend your night hunting for the Aurora Borealis. If the sky is clear, it’s truly magical ✨ 🐕 Husky Safari Adventures Swap your skis for a dog sled and dash through the snowy woods. It’s the ultimate Lapland experience and adds a wonderful variety to your trip. 🦌 Reindeer & Local Lapland Culture Lapland’s culture is deeply tied to reindeer. There are plenty of tours that allow you to connect with these gentle creatures and learn about the local way of life. 🔥 Cozy Up in a Glass Cabin For an unforgettable stay, book a glass cabin or a snow-dusted cottage. You can stay warm and cozy while gazing at the winter sky right from your bed. 🧖♀️ Relax in a Finnish Sauna There’s no better way to end a day of skiing than with a traditional Finnish sauna. It’s the perfect way to unwind before heading back out to check for the Northern Lights. Levi is perfect for anyone who wants a ski holiday that offers so much more than just the slopes. From snowy forests and huskies to reindeer and saunas, you get the full Arctic experience plus the chance to see the Aurora 🇫🇮🤍
⛷️Levi, Finnish Lapland 🇫🇮 Ski through snow-draped forests and catch the Northern Lights all in one day ❄️🌌 If you want to trade typical Alpine views for the pristine, white landscapes of Lapland—where pine forests are heavy with snow and the night sky feels magical—Levi is the place to go 🤍. As one of Finland's premier ski resorts, it offers a vibe that is distinctively different from Zermatt, Niseko, or St. Moritz. ⛷️ Skiing Through Snowy Forests Levi features trails for all skill levels, so even beginners can join in. Some runs wind through dense pine forests where every tree is blanketed in thick white snow, making you feel like you’ve stepped into a real-life winter world. 🌲 See the Snow-Covered Forests One of Lapland’s most iconic sights is the pine trees weighed down by so much snow they turn into otherworldly sculptures. A quick cable car ride to the summit offers plenty of stunning photo ops 📸. 🌌 Hunting for the Northern Lights After a day on the slopes, you can head out at night to hunt for the Aurora Borealis. If the skies are clear and conditions are right, you might just see vibrant green ribbons dancing across the sky above the snowy landscape ✨. 🐕 Try a Husky Safari Beyond skiing, you can experience a sled ride pulled by a team of huskies through the snowy woods. It’s the ultimate way to soak in the authentic Lapland atmosphere. 🦌 Reindeer & Winter Activities From reindeer encounters to snowmobiling and snowshoeing, there are plenty of ways to mix up your trip if you want a break from the slopes. 🔥 Cozy Up in a Warm Cabin Head back to your lodge in the evening to sit by the fireplace with a cup of hot chocolate. Some accommodations even feature glass ceilings or large windows for stargazing—witnessing the Northern Lights right from your room is an experience you'll never forget 🤍. Levi is perfect for those seeking a unique ski trip that combines world-class skiing with snow forests, husky rides, reindeer, and the magic of the Northern Lights 🇫🇮❄️🌌

For first-time aurora chasing trips in Finland, Rovaniemi is a convenient starting point. If you want to capture lake reflections, snow-capped mountains, or river valleys, head further north into Lapland. The aurora viewing season in northern Finland generally runs from late August to early April. For trips departing in late 2026, it's recommended to stay at least three nights in the same location to allow for cloudy days. 1️⃣ 🌉 Rovaniemi | Walking to the Arctic Garden for Aurora Chasing The Arctic Garden, located outside the Arktikum Museum, is a riverside park near the city center with expansive northern skies. If staying in the city, you can walk there after dinner to watch the sunrise. · Transportation | From Helsinki, you can take a domestic flight or book a Santa Claus Express night train on Finnish Railways VR. · Viewing Location | Search for "Arctic Garden" and walk to the riverside path away from streetlights. No museum ticket is required for the outdoor park. 2️⃣ 🎿 Levi | Ski during the day, visit Lake Immeljärvi at night Lake Immeljärvi offers expansive views, making it ideal for combining skiing and aurora chasing in one day. Staying in the center of Levi village allows you to check cloud cover before deciding whether to go out. · Transportation | Take a shuttle bus or taxi from Kittilä Airport to Levi. · Viewing Location | Check the "Aurora Map" on Visit Levi and choose marked walking routes. Some areas around the lake are private land; please stay on public trails and along the shore. 3️⃣ 🏔️ Saariselkä | Enjoy expansive mountain views from Kaunispää The Kaunispää highlands have fewer trees and offer unobstructed views, perfect for capturing the snow-covered landscape and distant hills in aurora photos. Strong winds are common at the summit; check road conditions and return arrangements beforehand. · Transportation | From Ivalo Airport, check shuttle bus schedules by flight or book a taxi to Saariselkä. · Before heading out | Check live footage of Kaunispää from Lapland North. In case of strong winds or low visibility, wait in an open area with a safe walking path outside the village. 4️⃣ 🧊 Inari | Photograph the aurora borealis and the lake surface at Lake Inari Lake Inari has an open surface. When it's not frozen and the water is calm, you have a chance to photograph the aurora reflections. After winter sets in, you can use the snow and the lake surface as a foreground from the shore. · Transportation | From Ivalo Airport, travel to Inari via Ivalo town. Check Matkahuolto bus schedules by date or book your accommodation for transfer. · Viewing location | Choose a legally accessible lakeshore near the village. If you plan to participate in an ice tour, you can book a guide familiar with the local ice conditions. 5️⃣ ⛰️ Kilpisjärvi | Aurora Foreground with Mount Saana Located in northwestern Finland, Kilpisjärvi is far from major cities. The lakeside offers stunning views of the Saana mountain silhouette against the night sky. To get a good view of the mountain, head to the lake during the day to plan your shot; this will make finding a good spot easier at night. · Transportation | You can take a bus from Kittilä Airport or book a pick-up service in advance. The journey is long, so check your departure and return bus schedules before booking accommodation. · Viewing Location | Find an open spot on the lakeshore that is safely accessible from within the village; no need to hike in the dark. 6️⃣ 🌲 Utsjoki | Waiting for the Northern Night Sky in the Tenojoki Valley Utsjoki is located in the northernmost part of Finland. The Tenojoki River has a wide valley along its banks, perfect for capturing the valley and the winter night sky in the same frame. · Transportation | You can travel north from Ivalo Airport via Inari. Check long-distance bus schedules by date or book a transfer with your accommodation. · Viewing Locations | Inquire with your accommodation about nearby viewing spots within walking distance, or book a local tour. Stay on shore at night, avoiding river ice and unlit shoulders. 📌 Check Two Forecasts Before Chasing the Aurora · Check cloud cover first, then aurora activity. Check the Finnish Meteorological Institute's (FMI) "Regional Aurora Forecast" and compare it to hourly cloud cover at your destination. Thick clouds may obscure the aurora even with strong activity. · Allow extra time from evening until around midnight. The aurora can appear at any time after dark. Pack a windproof, warm jacket, ski boots, and spare batteries. For first-time aurora chasers, stay in Rovaniemi. For those wanting to travel further north, consider Ivalo → Saariselkä/Inari, allowing flexibility depending on transportation and weather. #2026FinlandTravel #FinlandAurora #Lapland #Rovaniemi #Levi #Saariselkä #LakeInari #NordicWinterTravel
Lapland is one of those destinations that feels like stepping into a winter fairytale. But if you're planning a trip to Finnish Lapland, there are a few experiences you absolutely shouldn't miss – and some mistakes that could make your trip more expensive or less enjoyable. ✨ TOP 5 THINGS TO DO 1. See the Northern Lights 🌌 This is probably the biggest reason people travel to Lapland! Head away from city lights, check the weather and aurora forecasts, and give yourself several nights to catch them. Rovaniemi, Saariselkä, Inari and Levi are all great bases. 2. Stay in a glass igloo 🏡 One of the most magical accommodation experiences! Imagine watching the stars or Northern Lights from your bed, surrounded by snowy forests. It's expensive, but even one night can be a special experience. 3. Go husky sledding 🐕 Experience the Arctic wilderness on a husky safari. You'll travel through beautiful snowy forests and frozen landscapes. Choose a responsible operator that prioritises the dogs' welfare. 4. Visit Santa Claus Village 🎅 Located in Rovaniemi, this is a magical place even if you're not travelling with children. Meet Santa, cross the Arctic Circle and visit the famous post office. 5. Experience a traditional Finnish sauna 🔥 You can't visit Finland without trying a sauna! Enjoy the warmth after a freezing day outdoors. Some places also offer the opportunity to experience a traditional ice-swimming experience with proper supervision. ⚠️ MISTAKES YOU SHOULD AVOID 1. Staying only one or two nights. The Northern Lights are unpredictable. Stay at least 4–5 nights to give yourself multiple opportunities. 2. Booking everything in Rovaniemi. Rovaniemi is convenient, but don't miss places like Inari, Saariselkä and Levi. Northern Lapland offers a different, quieter Arctic experience. 3. Underestimating the cold. Regular winter clothes might not be enough. Invest in thermal layers, insulated boots, proper gloves and warm socks. 4. Booking a glass igloo without checking its location. Not every igloo offers the same experience. Check privacy, surroundings, heating, ceiling visibility and whether the accommodation has nearby artificial lighting. 5. Expecting guaranteed Northern Lights. No tour or hotel can guarantee an aurora sighting. Clear skies and solar activity both matter. 6. Visiting only during Christmas week. Christmas is magical but also one of the busiest and most expensive periods. January, February and March can offer a wonderful winter experience. 7. Forgetting to book popular activities. Husky safaris and other popular experiences can sell out, especially during peak season. 💚 MY BIGGEST ADVICE Plan 5–7 days if possible. Combine Rovaniemi with a few nights further north, leave some evenings free for aurora hunting and don't spend your entire budget on accommodation. Lapland is about much more than seeing the Northern Lights. It's about the snowy forests, peaceful Arctic landscapes, cosy cabins and experiences you'll rememb
Imagine falling asleep under a sky full of stars, surrounded by endless snowy forests, while the Northern Lights dance right above your bed. No crowds, no city noise, just you, the Arctic wilderness and one of the most magical views on Earth. A glass igloo in Finnish Lapland is more than just accommodation – it's an experience you'll remember forever! 🌌 Why should you stay in one? Watch the Northern Lights from the comfort of your warm bed. Wake up to breathtaking views of snow-covered forests. Experience the Arctic night without having to spend hours outside in the cold. Enjoy complete privacy and a peaceful winter atmosphere. Some igloos even have private saunas, hot tubs or panoramic glass ceilings. 📍 Where to find the best glass igloos? Rovaniemi – Great for combining your stay with Santa Claus Village. Saariselkä – Beautiful wilderness and peaceful surroundings. Kakslauttanen – One of Finland's most famous glass igloo resorts. Levi – Perfect for combining luxury accommodation with winter activities. Inari – Ideal for a quieter Arctic escape. 📅 When to go? December–March is perfect for snowy landscapes. September–November can also be wonderful for Northern Lights without as much snow. 💰 Is it expensive? Yes, glass igloos can be quite pricey, especially around Christmas and New Year. Save money by travelling outside peak holiday dates, comparing different resorts and booking early. 💚 My biggest tip: Stay for at least 2 nights if your budget allows. The Northern Lights are unpredictable, so having several evenings gives you more opportunities to witness them. Imagine opening your eyes in the middle of the night and seeing the sky glowing green above you. This is the kind of travel experience that stays with you forever🌌 #travel2026
If winter had a dream destination, it would be Lapland! Imagine endless snowy forests, frozen lakes, cosy wooden cabins, reindeer wandering through the snow and the Northern Lights dancing above you. It's like stepping straight into a winter fairytale. Here's why Lapland deserves a place on your bucket list! 🌌 1. The Northern Lights One of the best places in the world to experience the Aurora Borealis. Head away from city lights, find a clear night and watch the sky come alive with beautiful colours. 🎅 2. Santa Claus Village Visit Santa Claus in Rovaniemi, cross the Arctic Circle, send postcards from Santa's official post office and experience the magic of Christmas all year round. 🦌 3. Reindeer experiences Meet reindeer, visit traditional reindeer farms and learn about Sámi culture and the importance of reindeer herding in northern Finland. 🐕 4. Husky sledding Experience a ride through beautiful snowy forests with energetic huskies. One of the most memorable winter activities! 🏡 5. Stay in a glass igloo Imagine watching the Northern Lights from the comfort of your warm bed. Lapland has incredible glass-roofed cabins and igloos surrounded by snowy wilderness. ❄️ 6. Endless winter activities Try snowmobiling, ice fishing, snowshoeing, skiing, traditional Finnish saunas and even floating in icy water in a special thermal suit. 🌲 7. The most magical landscapes Frozen waterfalls, snow-covered pine trees, frozen lakes and peaceful Arctic forests. Even a simple walk outside feels like an adventure. 💰 8. Can you visit on a budget? Absolutely! Choose accommodation outside the most popular resorts, book flights early, use public transport where possible and enjoy free activities like walking through snowy forests and aurora hunting. 📅 When to visit? December: Christmas atmosphere and polar night. January–February: Deep winter, snowy landscapes and Arctic activities. March: More daylight, beautiful snow and great conditions for outdoor adventures. September–October: Autumn colours and the beginning of aurora season. 💚 My recommendation: Spend at least 5–7 days exploring Lapland rather than staying only in Rovaniemi. Combine it with Saariselkä, Inari or Levi for a more complete Arctic experience. Lapland isn't just a winter holiday. It's an experience that makes you fall in love with winter all over again! ✨ #travel2026#travel#myitinerary
Imagine waking up in a fairytale: endless snow-covered forests, frozen lakes, tiny wooden cabins surrounded by white landscapes and the Northern Lights dancing above your head. Lapland is not just a destination; it's an entire winter wonderland. 🌌 Watch the Northern Lights illuminate the Arctic sky. 🎅 Visit Santa Claus Village in Rovaniemi. 🦌 Experience traditional reindeer farms and learn about Sámi culture. 🐕 Go husky sledding through snowy forests. 🏡 Spend a night in a glass igloo under the stars. ❄️ Explore frozen lakes, snowshoeing trails and magical winter scenery. 🔥 Warm up in a traditional Finnish sauna after a day in the snow. 📍 Where to go: Rovaniemi – Santa Claus Village and Arctic experiences. Levi – Skiing, winter activities and cosy resorts. Saariselkä – Peaceful wilderness and aurora hunting. Inari – Arctic nature and Sámi cultural experiences. Kilpisjärvi – Remote landscapes and incredible mountain scenery. 📅 Best time to visit: December to March for snowy winter landscapes. January and February are especially magical, while March offers more daylight and excellent winter conditions. 💚 My advice: Spend at least 5–7 days exploring Lapland. Don't limit yourself to Rovaniemi; venture further north to discover the quieter, more remote side of Finnish Lapland. Some places are beautiful in pictures. Lapland is one of those places you have to experience to truly understand. ✨ Make the opening less genericTighten the destination descriptions #travel#naturalwonders
Seeing the Aurora Borealis in Finnish Lapland is one of those experiences that doesn't feel real until you're standing under the dancing lights yourself. Green waves moving across the sky, absolute silence, snowy landscapes and a sky full of stars. Truly unforgettable! If you're dreaming of experiencing this yourself, here's everything you need to know. ✨ 1. Where to see them in Finland? Some of the best locations are: Rovaniemi – Most popular and easy to organise. Saariselkä – Beautiful wilderness and dark skies. Inari – Remote, peaceful and perfect for aurora hunting. Levi – Great for combining skiing and Northern Lights. Kilpisjärvi – One of the more remote options. 📅 2. When should you visit? The aurora season generally runs from September to early April. For a snowy winter wonderland, December–March is ideal. September and October are also fantastic if you prefer milder temperatures. 🌌 3. How to increase your chances? Stay at least 3–5 nights. Get away from artificial lights. Check aurora activity and cloud forecasts. Be prepared to stay outside late at night. Consider an aurora hunting tour that follows clearer skies. 📸 4. How to photograph them? You don't need an expensive camera! Your iPhone can capture beautiful photos using Night Mode. Bring a tripod, keep your phone warm and avoid using flash. 🧤 5. What to wear? Thermal layers, insulated winter clothing, waterproof boots, thick socks, gloves and a warm hat. Finnish winter nights can get seriously cold! 💰 6. Can you do it on a budget? Yes! Stay in apartments or hostels, use public transport, explore free viewing spots and avoid booking expensive tours every evening. 💚 My biggest tip: Don't make this a one-night experience. The Northern Lights are unpredictable, and even the most beautiful destinations can't guarantee a sighting. Sometimes you wait for hours, and sometimes the sky suddenly comes alive. And when it happens, it's a night you'll remember forever! #travel2026#travel
