Have you dreamed of a glass igloo Northern Lights experience – seeing the sky come alive with color, without having to step outside into the freezing cold? In Finnish Lapland, you can enjoy this once-in-a-lifetime moment from the warmth and comfort of your own private space. Just lie back, get cozy under a blanket, and watch green and purple lights dance above you.
At OloResort in Finland, that dream becomes a peaceful reality.
The Northern Lights, or Aurora Borealis, are colorful lights in the night sky caused by particles from the sun meeting the Earth’s atmosphere. It’s one of the most amazing things you can see in nature and Finland is one of the best places in the world to see them.
The best time to visit is between September and March, when the nights are long and dark. The lights often appear between 10 PM and 2 AM, but sometimes they come out earlier or later. To see them clearly, you need dark skies, little or no light pollution, and a good view of the northern horizon.
A glass igloo gives you all of this plus warmth and comfort. You can simply relax inside and enjoy the view without going outside at all.
Tip: Let your eyes adjust to the dark. It takes about 20–30 minutes before you start to see the lights more clearly.
While winter is often considered the peak season for aurora chasing, autumn in Lapland offers a breathtaking, lesser-known version of the Northern Lights experience.
From September to November, the skies in Lapland are already dark enough for auroras. The air is fresh, the forests are full of color, and the lakes reflect the sky like a mirror. There’s usually no snow yet, but the beauty of fall colors combined with Northern Lights is truly special.
Autumn is also quieter. There are fewer travelers, which means more privacy and space to enjoy nature. The weather is milder too, so it’s a great time to stay in an igloo hotel and experience Lapland before the busy winter season begins.
Winter in Lapland is like a storybook. From December to March, the land is covered in snow, and the nights are long and dark – perfect for seeing the Northern Lights.
Cold, clear nights are best for auroras. In Levi, where OloResort is located, you get open views, little light pollution, and quiet surroundings. Whether you’re just coming back from a winter activity or enjoying a peaceful evening inside, seeing the lights above your igloo is something you’ll never forget.
Snow adds to the magic. It reflects the lights, makes everything quiet, and creates a calm, cozy feeling – especially when you’re warm and relaxed inside your igloo.
If you’ve never stayed in a glass igloo before, you might wonder what it’s like: Are glass igloos in Finland heated? Do they have bathrooms?
Absolutely – and more. At OloResort, each glass igloo is a private suite with everything you need for a relaxing stay:
Everything is designed to make your stay peaceful, private, and comfortable – so you can focus on what matters most: the view above.
