WELCOME TO THE NORTHERN WILDERNESS
KAKSLAUTTANEN ARCTIC RESORT Kakslauttanen is a family hotel in Finnish Lapland, 250 kilometres north of the Arctic Circle. It was the glass igloos and log cabins that put us on the world map. Now, here in the middle of the wilderness, we have a lot more in store, including Santa s entire world. Make yourself comfortable in Lapland s most original destination.
WINTER The polar night, or kaamos, is a magical period in Lapland. The blue light of twilight, metres and metres of snow, and extreme frost this is what the heart of winter is made of. In January, when the sun finally rises after its long retreat, the days quickly grow longer. What could soothe the soul more than skiing on densely packed snow or taking a snowmobile out in the crisp, bright winter sunshine? Kakslauttanen offers a very good opportunity to see the Northern Lights. One of the best way to see them is to spend a night in our unique glass igloo.

SUMMER Summer in Lapland is intense the sun never sets between mid-may and early August. That s why Lapland is often called the Land of the Midnight Sun. This is not to suggest a scorching heat; the weather will be perfect for hiking up and down the fells day and night if you wish. The summer season ends in September, when the ruska period sets in and nature is ablaze with a magnificent array of changing colours.
