Premium glass igloos with private sauna and outdoor hot tub.
The view is included. The rest is up to you.
A winter stay in Rovaniemi doesn't need a full schedule. Most guests at our glass igloos choose two or three activities and keep the rest of the time for the private sauna, long dinners and the sky above the glass roof. Here are three ready-made plans, for 2, 3 or 4 days. Book one as it is or change it to suit you: activities booked with your stay are 10% off.
Halo Igloos Hillside
1. Northern Lights in Rovaniemi: a 2-day stay under the Arctic sky
For guests who come for the Northern Lights and want to understand what they're seeing. The Aurora is never guaranteed, but our aurora alert lets you know when there's activity, so you don't have to stay up all night.
Day 1: Arrive and warm up in your igloo's private sauna and hot tub. In the evening, take the sleigh ride to our hilltop kota and wait for the Aurora by the fire, with crêpes cooked over the flames.
Day 2: Visit the Halo Sky Exhibition at Halo Riverside, watch the film Beyond the Aurora and touch a real meteorite. In the evening, join the Halo Sky Odyssey, a small-group evening with professional astronomer Robert Johnstone and a deep-space telescope on our Arctic Sky Deck.

2. Huskies and reindeer in Rovaniemi: a 3-day stay
For guests who want to meet the animals of Lapland, with time for the sauna in between.
Day 1: Arrive and settle in. Before dinner, take the Reindeer Forest Walk: 45 minutes in the quiet forest with our reindeer, feeding them by hand.
Day 2: The 5 km Hillside Husky Ride through the snowy pine forest. The dogs are keen to run, and you'll feel it from the first metre. Spend the afternoon in your private sauna and hot tub.
Day 3: The Reindeer Farm Visit with Sleigh Ride, about three hours with transfers included. The herders tell you about Lapland's oldest way of life while you ride through the forest.

3. Saunas and slow days by the river: a 4-day stay
For guests who mostly want to rest. Halo Riverside sits by the Vikaköngäs rapids, and the days here follow the light.
Day 1: Arrive, warm up in your igloo's sauna and have dinner at Restaurant Vuolle.
Day 2: In the afternoon, the Riverside Sauna with Cold Plunge: choose the wood-heated sauna or the electric sauna suites, then cool off in the river. In the evening, join the Halo Sky Odyssey, a small-group evening with our astronomer and a deep-space telescope on the Arctic Sky Deck, a few steps from your igloo.
Day 3: The trails of the Arctic Circle Hiking Area start right next to Halo Riverside. Take the snowshoes from your igloo (two pairs in every igloo) and cross the hanging bridge over the rapids into the snowy forest. In the evening, the Private Riverside Sauna gives the two of you the whole sauna and the plunge for an hour.
Day 4: Breakfast and a last walk by the river before you travel home.
