Hotel Kakslauttanen is the home of the famous Igloo Village with the unique Glass and Snow Igloos and a World’s Largest Snow Restaurant.

Surrounded by Lapland’s exotic and stunning scenery, not only can guests sample the peace of sleeping in snow (the snow muffles sound, and provides a great night’s sleep), their glass igloos are fantastic for lying on your bed at night, watching the Northern Lights in the warm.
