Kiruna – Sumarhús

Tania Þýskaland

This place is perfect if you want a quiet location with Alttajärvi lake on one side and the woods and hill on the other side. We enjoyed the winter walks along the trails and walking on the lake! The location is perfect to spot northern lights and being close to IRF you can use the Aurora Alert on IRF Aurora App. Even when cloudy in Kiruna, Alttajärvi had clear sky with amazing star display of the milky way. Not much light pollution here!! Kiruna is only 15 mins away by car. The house has what you need for a few days. Washing machine has a 15min program and things dry easily over night on radiators or the clothes airer. Sheets and towels are provided. The fireplace is an extra plus! You can buy wood at petrol stations! Husky tours you will found everywhere! The mine is worth a visit! Northern light chase is for people without a car, you just need to step outside when nature decide to put on a display. Abisko has clearer nightsky so the probability to see it increases if you take yourself there.

I loved everything with this hotel - especially the fantastic service from the staff (a man named Sander) that made our trip memorable! Check-in was smooth and easy. We were shown where we could eat and where the sights were. Considering there were less than a handful of restaurants across the ice, that was valuable information. The room was very nicely designed. Beautiful view of Torne river - opposite to Ice hotel. Well maintained room, clean and tidy. We also stayed at Ice hotel, but Aurora River camp glass igloos was much cozier, quieter and more personal. When we got stuck with the snowmobile, the staff (Sander) came out to us and asked if we needed help without us asking for it - talk about good customer care! When I was going to load two scooters onto the car (never owned a scooter before) the staff (Sander again!) came and helped load the scooter. When the car didn't start in the extreme cold, Sander was there again with a battery starter. I stay about 150 nights a year at different hotels, is a level 3 member and I have never before experienced such fantastic service! "Up here in the arctic we help eacher" said the staff (Sander) with a smile and he didn't even wanted anything for the trouble. Fantastic! In total this is one of my best stays ever. (Of course I had to buy some small gift to Sander as a thanks to all the help and service we got)

Location was perfect a lovely walk across the frozen lake to the ice hotel the cottage was just what we was looking for a short but very scenic drive into kiruna. We had a sauna which was well needed after a great snowmobile adventure by our hosts. Will definitely be back one off our bucket list.

What a beautiful place right next to the Lake! Lovely lady that we've had a little chat with too! Couldn't have been better! We even had the best Aurora Experience ever!

It was a late-minute booking from the Kunglseden trip, and only this cabin was available in our budget. We needed to kill the time before our night train to Stockholm, and staying there was beyond our expectations! The cabin (twin room) was pleasantly warm, equipped with a small kitchenette fridge and TV. The toilet and sauna were a few steps outside away - we didn't mind that inconvenience. The sauna was self-running, and cleaning instructions were provided across the whole house. We were lucky as we were able to catch up with the first aurora borealis in the new season, as the beautiful garden was the perfect spot for taking pictures/videos of them! The supermarket Coop was nearby and was convenient for us.
