What Northern Lights Village Saariselkä says
“The laser-heated glass-roof opens up into the northern sky, directly above the bed.”
“We offer complimentary access to an Aurora Alert app, which will send out automated alerts when northern lights are detected by our camera.”
“The 29–30 square meter cabins have enough room for spending an evening together under the glass roof”
Getting the glass room
- Book it by name. Choose "Aurora Cabin", not a standard room or cabin.
- Ask about what the website doesn't say. It doesn't mention: private sauna, private hot tub, own bathroom. Email before you pay.
- Check the confirmation. It should name the glass room. If it doesn't, contact the property.
How dark is the sky here?
Some town glow
It sits right next to brightly lit buildings in satellite images. Strong aurora shows well. Faint aurora is harder to see against the glow.
