6 days - Boutique Northern Lights Glass Igloo Stay in two locations

Combine stays in an exclusive and remote Glass Igloo resort with a stay in a Lappish-style 13-room boutique hotel, in the small village of Saariselkä. Located 250 km north of the Arctic Circle, you are in an ideal location to view the Northern Lights in both locations, while enjoying winter activities and excellent local cuisine.

This is an exclusive experience in northern Finland for adults only, away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. During your stay you will visit a Reindeer Farm, enjoy a magical winter evening searching the Northern lights by car, go on a Husky Safari and try cross-country skiing. At the boutique hotel, you have also free use of the fitness studio, saunas and indoor swimming pool.

At Javri, you can upgrade from Cosy Double to either Skyview Double rooms giving you even more opportunity to gazing at the stars or viewing the mystical Northern Lights from your own bed, or to the larger Lappish style Spacy Double rooms depending on availability.
