Ranua Resort - Arctic Glass Igloos
The Arctic Glass Igloos are located on the peaceful shores of Lake Ranuanjärvi, about 6km from the main Resort, far from any light pollution. The Igloos are in two rows so that each Igloo has an unobstructed view across the open lake to the far-reaching Northern horizons.
A night in a Glass Igloo is a once in a lifetime experience, and you are warmly welcome to spend an unforgettable luxury night under the starry sky of Ranua! The Glass Igloos are well-equipped and each has its own kitchenette, sauna, shower and toilet. The entrance, toilet, sauna and bathroom are in the wooden part of the Igloo, facing the forest, and the bedroom area has glass walls. The heating of the glass panels prevents fogging and the accumulation of snow, so the views are unhindered all-year-round.
