Tell me more

Set by Lake Inari in the far Northern reaches of Finnish Lapland and with very little light pollution, the hotel is superbly sited for Aurora hunting. But when you’re not gazing in awe at the dancing night skies, Mari and Jouko have ensured you can enjoy a wide range of Arctic activities, all led by friendly and highly skilled guides. A visit to a reindeer farm and a husky safari are popular highlights.

Accommodation is equally varied, ensuring there's something to suit every style of traveller. Comfortable Wilderness Rooms offer a warm and rustic retreat, while the larger Log Cabins are ideal for families and enjoy views of either Lake Inari or the River Nukkumajoki. The stylish Arctic Chalets provide a spacious option with contemporary Nordic design and a peaceful lakeside setting, whilst the glass-roofed Aurora Cabins offer a truly memorable experience, allowing you to watch the northern sky from the comfort of your bed should the Northern Lights decide to make an appearance.

After a day in the wilderness, the lakeside restaurant serves delicious seasonal Lappish cuisine in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere, while the cosy bar provides the perfect spot to unwind with a drink and share tales of the day's adventures.

Glass-roofed Aurora Cabins

With a direct view to the Northern sky, the Aurora Cabins at Wilderness Hotel Inari are a popular option for guests wanting to relax in comfort and witness spectacular shows of the northern lights sweeping across the night sky. The laser-heated glass-roof directly above the bed ensures an unobstructed view even during the lowest temperatures. We recommend mixing and matching to make the most of your holiday. Perhaps split your time between a glass igloo and log cabin.
