What Ranua Resort Arctic Igloos says

“The entrance, toilet, sauna and the washing room are in the wood-walled area of the Igloo, facing the forest and the bedroom is in the glass wall part of the Igloo.”

“The heating of the glass panels on the roof prevents fogging of the glass and the accumulation of snow, so the views open unhindered all year round.”

“The glass igloos are well-equipped and each has its own kitchenette, sauna, shower and toilet.”

“Bathroom with toilet and sauna, hairdryer”

“Please, note that Lakeside Igloo can be booked for max 2 adults and 2 children (0-14 years old).”

“Twin Igloos are for 1-2 persons and Lake side Igloos for max 2 adults + 2 children (children under 14 yo.) .”

Getting the glass room

  1. Book it by name. Choose "Lakeside Igloo", not a standard room or cabin.
  2. Ask about what the website doesn't say. It doesn't mention: aurora alarm, private hot tub. Email before you pay.
  3. Check the confirmation. It should name the glass room. If it doesn't, contact the property.
