Have you heard of the Glass Igloos in Finland?






Are you looking for some kind of adventurous holidays in winters? Then I would say Finland is the best place and living in the village of Glass Igloos would make the holidays even more fun filled and thrilling. In this article, I have tried to provide some information about Finland and its Glass Igloos.

It is believed that Santa Claus lives in Finland. When someone talks about Finland, the first thing which comes to my mind is a beautiful scene of a fairy tale with wooden cottages, snow clad mountains, polar bears, reindeers, big snow castles, and shiny green grass.


Yes, Finland is so beautiful that its beauty cannot be described in words.

Finland is also known as the land of the Midnight Sun when the Sun doesn't set continuously for almost 70 days in summers and you can experience bright and sunny days at stretch without any nights. Likewise, in winters, there are days when Sun doesn't rise for days; longest period being 51 days. This period is known as the Polar Nights.

Finland is the place where you can experience the famous Northern Lights or Aurora Borealis. It is a phenomenon when you can see colorful dancing lights in the sky. This phenomemnon can only be experienced around the North pole. So, people travel miles to Finland just to experience these lights.

Finland Glass Igloos



Hotel Kakslauttanen, located in Saariselka town of Finland, is basically a village of around 20 Glass Igloos. These igloos are made of crystal clear thermal glass which are perfectly insulated from inside.

The thermal glass walls keep the igloos warm from inside and make sure that the walls remain crystal clear even if the temperature falls to -30 degree Celsius.

These igloos are like the luxury rooms of a 5 star hotel. You have all the facilities that include comfortable beds, attached toilets and Sauna.

The main purpose of building this village was to enable tourists to have nice views of Aurora Borealis in a warm and comfortable environment.

Though I have never been to this place, but I wish that sometime in my life I also get an opportunity to visit this place. I get goosebumps on just imagining the feeling of living in such a magical world.
