WELCOME TOTHE NORTHERN
WILDERNESS
Kakslauttanen is a family hotel in Finnish Lapland, 250kilometres north of the Arctic Circle. It was the glass igloos
and log cabins that put us on the world map. Now, here in the middle of the wilderness, we have a lot more in store,
including Santa’s entire world. Make yourself comfortable inLapland’s most original destination.
KAKSLAUTTANENARCTIC RESORT
The polar night, or kaamos, is a magical period in Lapland.The blue light of twilight, metres and metres of snow, andextreme frost – this is what the heart of winter is made of.In January, when the sun finally rises after its long retreat,
the days quickly grow longer. What could soothe thesoul more than skiing on densely packed snow or takinga snowmobile out in the crisp, bright winter sunshine?
Kakslauttanen offers a very good opportunity to see theNorthern Lights. One of the best way to see them is to
spend a night in our unique glass igloo.

Summer in Lapland is intense – the sun never sets betweenmid-May and early August. That’s why Lapland is often called
the Land of the Midnight Sun. This is not to suggest a scorching heat; the weather will be perfect for hiking up and down the
fells – day and night if you wish. The summer season endsin September, when the ruska period sets in and natureis ablaze with a magnificent array of changing colours.
