Snow Igloo

Imagine yourself sleeping completely surrounded by snow. The silence is enchanting and lights inside the ice cast mysterious shadows on the snow walls. The breathtaking atmosphere lulls you into a deep, comfortable sleep in your warm down sleeping bag. The temperature inside the snow igloo stays always between -3°C and -6°C. Besides a warm down sleeping bag (rated extreme temperature is -32°C), woollen socks and a hood are provided , so that you will never feel cold. 

Glass Igloo

Glass igloo provides an one of a kind opportunity to admire the northern lights and millions of stars of the crystal clear Lapp sky in a comfortable room temperature. Based on a groundbreaking idea and years of research and development, glass igloos are a marvel of modern technology. Built from a special thermal glass the temperature inside the igloo always stays at a normal level. It also prevents the glass from not getting white frosted, hence keeping the view clear even when the temperature outside drops to under -30°C. Every igloo is equipped with a toilet and luxury beds. On every evening a hot sauna and a refreshing ice hole are waiting for you.

Glass Kota

Glass Kota is a heated building in the shape of a traditional Lapp teepee, 8 metres high and 8 metres wide. Made of the space special thermal glass as glass igloos, Glass Kota offers an unobscured view of the beautiful Lapp night sky and the magical northern lights. Snow chapel is situated nearby, making Glass Kota an ideal place for a cocktail party before or after the wedding. What could be more amazing than to sip a cold drink inside the warm Glass Kota during a snowstorm. Glass Kota has also its own altar suitable for wedding ceremonies.
