Luxury eco aurora huts

An unforgettable experience drift off to sleep in a plush double bed with floor to ceiling views of the pristine Arctic landscape. Leaving no footprints behind, these eco-friendly huts are heated by biofuel and fitted with a composing toilet. Completely mobile, experts place these huts in a prime location deep in the Aurora zone, far away from light pollution.

Aurora hunting
Pulled by guided snowmobiles, ride into the night hunting for the celestial lights of the Aurora Borealis on a sledge deep into the Finnish Lapland. Secluded, away from any artificial light and if the conditions are right, Lake Inari is one of the best locations in Finland to see the enchanting lightshows of the Aurora. Once reaching the campsite, warm up by the blazing campfire with a hot beverage.
