Pau United States of America

We like that they delivered our luggages to our Igloo instead of us carrying them ourselves. Staff was friendly and we like the fact that Igloo staff informed us ahead of time that our Igloo was ready for early check in. Thank you for giving us the quiet unit with a great view.

It’s a great experience but not sure we would stay more than 1-2 nights. If it’s a clear night it would be really amazing. We had a cloudy night so didn’t get to see much

    Asked about: Premium Igloo • Answered on January 11, 2020
  • Will we be able to see the northern lights During February and March? What other activities are there?

    Hello, February and March are very good months to see the northern lights, however the possibility to see the northern lights depends on the weather conditions and the aurora activity. It is a natural phenomena so we can't affect or promise you will get to see them. During those months we usually still have quite a lot of snow, so the reindeer, husky and snowmobile rides are possible during that time, as well as ice fishing, hiking trips and there is skiing center close to Rovaniemi city center.

    Asked about: Premium Igloo • Answered on December 3, 2021
  • Is the restaurant near to the igloos, how do you get into the surrounding areas if you didn’t want to dine at the hotel, taxi, bus etc.

    If you want to have a dinner in Santa Claus Village - it is 7minutes walk from hotel. In Santa Claus village there is few restaurant. I think all of them have at least one vegetarian option in the menu as well. If you like to go to the City Center i recommend taxi. In City center there is restaurant Nabo which is Vegetarian restaurant.
