At Igloo Village Kakslauttanen luggage will be storage to the main building. When guests have arrived to Kakslauttanen, they have a nice and warm smoke sauna waiting for them. Smoke sauna has been heated whole day and is waiting for the adventures. Already the ancient Finns considered sauna as a sacred and healing place. In Kakslauttanen’s sauna the hundreds of years of tradition will meet the demands of the comfortable modern life. The smoke sauna is situated by the beautiful pond on the opposite side of the Kakslautttanen’s Igloo Village. In two separate sauna departments there are fireplaces, dressing rooms, showers and toilets. During bathing you can cool yourself at the large terrace or you can even go swimming in the hole of the ice, ice pool!

After smoke sauna dinner is served in the cosy log restaurant. The chef’s speciality includes a cheese soup savoured with smoked reindeer, charcoal grilled salmon with sauce of various wild mushrooms, prepared in front of the guests, and a desert of lingonberry parfait.

This is the night for a soft and comfortable bed! There are 20 igloos and each has own room for 1 to 6 persons.

A reindeer hide and a woollen rug will provide excellent insulation against the snow and keep you warm. Our padded sleeping bags would keep you warm at much lower temperatures but inside the igloo the temperature is always comfortable- between minus 3 and minus 6 degrees Celsius! The night high up in the North is fantastic, it is so long and dark. And in the igloo you will be thrilled by the light of the ice table. The igloo village is naturally well equipped – there is even a latrine made of snow. And not far from your igloo you will find all the modern conveniences!
