Imagine falling asleep beneath the Arctic sky — without having to spend the whole night outside waiting for the Northern Lights. 🌌❄️ At Arctic SnowHotel & Glass Igloos near Rovaniemi, Finnish Lapland, the glass igloos offer a wonderful way to experience the Arctic night from the comfort of your bed.

She wanted to experience the beauty of the north without having to spend hours researching where to stay, what to do, and how to make the most of just a few days. So I created a 4-day itinerary that balanced nature, local experiences and plenty of time to simply enjoy being there. ❄️ The itinerary Day 1 — Arrival in Swedish Lapland Arrival and check-in at a beautiful local hotel, followed by a relaxed evening to settle into the northern atmosphere. Day 2 — Into the wilderness A day dedicated to experiencing the landscape: forests, lakes and the feeling of being surrounded by nothing but nature.
