More about this place
Santa’s Igloos Arctic Circle is a glass-roofed accommodation property at Santa Claus Village. The property is designed for year-round use, but winter snow and dark-sky aurora viewing are seasonal experiences.
The year-round, air-conditioned glass igloos combine a hotel-room layout with a view of the changing Arctic sky. Restaurant Arctic Eye and the Santa Claus Village setting make this an accessible alternative to a remote wilderness stay. Check the actual room configuration and current bus timetable; glass roofs never guarantee a Northern Lights display.
