Beautiful location close to Helsinki. The rooms are spacious and well equipped. Kettle in the room. Conference lunch buffet has a good selection of both greens meat fish and vegetarian options. Staff very very helpful and attentive. Dinner was also good...especially the potatoes blinis were amazing
We did a big road trip all across Finland in winter and it was one of our most favorite but also most freezing trips ever 😁 Here are our tips:
🗺️ Places to visit / Things to do:
1. Watch the Northern Lights 🌌 In northern Finland you can see them during a clear night between September to April 🥹 We were there in January.
2.&3. Stay in a glass igloo ❄️ We stayed at @kakslauttanen_arctic_resort (*Azeige) and it was so magical ❤️ Their roofs are heated so you can see the sky all night and they even have an alarm for northern lights 💫
4. Kemi 🩷 There’s also an igloo village (open for day tourists but also to spend the night 🥶)
5. Go for a husky sleigh ride 🛷
6.&7. Helsinki
8. Visit a reindeer farm 🦌
9.&10. Oulanka National Park 💦
Make sure to visit Santa Claus in Rovaniemi & cross the Arctic Circle ❄️😍
🚗 How to get around
Definitely by car! If you travel in winter make sure your car is a 4x4 (we got stuck in the snow once and a tractor had to pull us out 😂)
🏨 Where to stay?
There are many unique accommodations in Finland! Like tree houses, igloos, cozy cabins in the woods and much more 🤗 Many of these are quite expensive but it’s really worth it!
⏰ Best time to visit
All year round 🤗 In the winter it’s very magical with all the snow but also extremely cold so make sure to be prepared 🧣
🐶 Is Finland dog friendly?
Overall yes but most restaurants don’t allow dogs. Better check in advance if the activities you want to do are dog friendly. At the husky sleigh farm / reindeer farm we couldn’t bring Felix for example.
We hope this mini guide was helpful 🤗 Let us know if you have any questions ❤️❄️ #finland #northernlights #aurora #travel #guide #bestof #winter #winterwonderland
