Standing on the southern shore of Lake Inari, the view across a vast expanse of Arctic wilderness from the perfectly named Wilderness Hotel Nangu will take your breath away. Adult only in winter, open to all in summer, this boutique hotel was transformed by partners Jouko and Mari in 2017 to create the perfect blend of escapism and authenticity.

Snowmobile across the frozen lake in search of the aurora, try your hand at ice fishing or get up close and personal with the local huskies and reindeer. Whatever you do, make sure you allow time to stop and stare. You’ll be surrounded by Mother Nature at her most spectacular. Make the most of it.

Lake Inari Aurora Hut 1

Luxury eco aurora huts

These exceptionally eco-conscious designed pods are in fact floating vessels that can easily be moved from place to place, so depending on the season, nights can be spent on ice, snow and even water. During winter, Lake Inari freezes and expert aurora hunters place the pods in a prime location far away from light pollution to heighten the chances of seeing the ethereal northern lights.
