Location

Summer activities: Because we are 250 km north of the Arctic Circle the Midnight Sun shines for two months and the nights are bright from May to the end of August. Attractions on our doorstep include the World's Largest Smoke Sauna and a crystal-clear stream where guests can pan for gold. We also arrange other activities and safaris unique to Lapland.

Winter activities: Hotel Kakslauttanen is the home of the famous Igloo Village with the unique Glass and Snow Igloos and a World's Largest Snow Restaurant. In addition our guests can enjoy all the other Lappish winter activities. The Northern Lights (Aurora borealis) are visible from late August to late April.

Room Info

Hotel Kakslauttanen composes 31 first-class log cabins with shower/toilet, kitchenette and fireplace. All the cabins even have own saunas and a traditional Finnish rocking chair. The cabins are located sufficiently far apart so that each cabin has its own peaceful garden area.

The whole village, our cabins, restaurant and saunas, are hand made of the rare dead standing pine.

Even thought the standard of the cabins are the same, there are three different sizes:

7 cabins are for two persons

11 are for four persons

13 are for 5 persons (up to 6 with extrabed)

In winter, from December until April, in the close proximity to Hotel Kakslauttanen is the famous Igloo Village. In the Igloo Village there are 20 Snow Igloos for sleeping and an Ice Gallery, Bar made of Ice, Ice Chapel that is extremely popular for weddings, and World's Largest Snow Restaurant for 150 persons. At the Igloo Village there is also five unique Glass Igloos, which provide a unique opportunity to sleep under the Lapp sky admiring the northern lights in a comfortable room temperature.

Snow Igloos

Imagine yourself sleeping in an Igloo made of Snow. It is totally quiet. Lights inside ice illuminate the Igloo. These make the atmosphere so exciting that never get bored of marvelling it, until you fall to deep, comfortable sleep in your warm down sleeping bag.

Besides warm (extremely temp. -32C) down sleeping bag, we provide you woollen socks and hood. The temperature inside Snow Igloo stays always between -3c and -6c so that you will never feel cold. That's a promise! The snow Igloos are for 1-5 persons.

After the night in an Igloo it is time for a Sauna. The saunas and showers next to the Igloo Village are open every morning. From the sauna it is also possible to dip to a hole in the ice in the river. What a way to start your day.

The unique Glass Igloos

After years of development, which was based to our wild idea and vision, we were finally able to finish the unique Glass Igloos in our Igloo Village.

When sleeping in the Glass Igloos the customer is able to marvel the amazing northern lights and the millions of stars in the sky. The experience is also unforgettable when there is a snowstorm. Kakslauttanen is a very good place for seeing the Northern Lights, Aurora Borealis, as in the area there are not so many electric lights outside and it is north enough so that the probability of them is very high from late August to late April.

The Glass Igloos have been built from a very special thermo glass. Because of that, the temperature inside the Igloo is always a normal room temperature. It also prevents the glass from not getting white frosted, hence keeping the view clear even when the temperature drops under -30 C. To increase the comfort of the customer, the Igloos have a toilet and luxury beds. Every morning there is also a sauna and a possibility to swim in an ice hole nearby.
