Experience the Northern Lights like never before with a stay in a private glass igloo! From watching the aurora borealis dance lights through the night sky to sipping hot cocoa under star-studded skies, you’ll feel truly magical during your memorable overnight stay.
What is a Glass Igloo?
A glass igloo is exactly what it sounds like – an igloo made of glass! This unique construction allows visitors to enjoy the beauty and splendor of the northern lights from the comfort of an insulated shelter. The glass igloos provide a pleasant year-round temperature regardless of the Nordic climate outside, so you’ll be cozy and warm as you watch for aurora activity.
What is the Best Time to Spot the Northern Lights?
The characteristic green and yellow aurora activity of the northern lights is most visible at night, when the sky is dark. Therefore, the best time to spot them is from September to March, when darkness prevails in Northern Finland (during the late spring and summer months there are only a few hours of darkness each night). Peak activity usually occurs around 1-2am, so you will have plenty of time to enjoy the magical display of colors before bedtime.
Where are the Best Places to View the Aurora Borealis?
One of the best places to observe the aurora borealis is Northern Finland, where a glass igloo allows you to watch the northern lights from the incredible comfort of your own private residence. Located in Rovaniemi, Lapland’s capital, these unique and luxurious accommodations give you exclusive views of the sky without compromising on style or comfort. The perfect place to relax and bask in nature’s show!
How Can I Increase My Chances of Seeing the Northern Lights?
To have the best chances of seeing the northern lights, you should travel to areas with dark skies, in the winter months between October and April. As you go further north and away from cities, there are less meagre lights that can interfere with your view. Clear weather is also important, so it is best to check forecasts before you embark on your journey. Finding a spot where you can avoid trees, buildings or other obstructions will help significantly for an unobstructed view of the sky.
Is it Possible to Stay in a Glass Igloo for Longer than One Night at a Time?
Yes, absolutely! In fact, many glass igloos offer longer stays than just a single night. This is ideal if you really want to maximize your chances of seeing the northern lights in comfort — they tend to appear best at night and can be unpredictable in how often they occur. When booking your stay at a glass igloo, you’ll be able to select from different lengths of stays so you can decide how much time you want to spend watching for the northern lights.
