Arctic Skylight Lodge

We spent one night in late March at Arctic Skylodge and it was magical. The cabin was warm, the bed was incredibly comfortable and we saw a little bit of aurora activity! So nice that you don’t have to go outside to see them. You can see the entire sky from the glass cabin. Breakfast was delicious and they also have gluten free options. We unfortunately didn’t get to have dinner here as the chef was unwell. But we did get a good tip from the receptionist to eat at Los Lompolo’s - a mix of Finnish and Mexican cuisine. It was delicious (get the churros!).

We were travelling with our EV and it would have been good if Arctic Skylodge had a car charger as there are only three fast chargers in Äkäslompolo and they were all taken when we went to charge. Tip: if you have a lot of stuff, it’s best to drive down to your cabin and unload rather than trying to take everything down the hill in the snow to your cabin. We were the second last cabin so it was quite far from reception.

We were lucky to see strong auroras from our bedroom - spectacular! Breakfast had all you could wish for, including a choice of freshly cooked options. Dinner was superb in both quality and presentation. Skiing track passes right behind the property. Super friendly and helpful staff.

Location is some 5km outside Äkäslompolo, best reached by car.

We had a very nice three course dinner. The food was excellent and the service friendly, professional yet down to earth. Five/five to excellent service. Would strongly recommend, even though it is a 10 min taxi ride from the Äkäslompolo village.

Die Unterkunft ist wunderschön und ein tolles Erlebnis mitten in der Natur. Die Leute welche dort arbeiten sind alle extrem nett und hilfsbereit. Hier werdet ihr nicht enttäuscht.

Excellent experience. Great view.

I like everything.

The cabin is wonderful

Should have shuttles available to nearby town.
