Arctic Skylight Lodge
A small lodge in the winter forest
Our 10 glass cabins sit among mature pines near Äkäslompolo and Ylläs. Come up to the main lodge for dinner, or take a seat by the fireplace in our small lounge.
A small glass-cabin lodge near Ylläs
Arctic Skylight Lodge is around 5 km from Äkäslompolo centre, near Ylläs. The cabins are spread through the forest below the main lodge, overlooking the river valley.
It is the only glass-room hotel in the Äkäslompolo area.
The forest and river valley
Our buildings sit among mature pines in forest that has not been harvested for hundreds of years. The cabins follow the slope below the main building, with wood and glass keeping the trees, river valley and winter light in view.
Life at the lodge
Reception, the restaurant and the small lounge share the main lodge. You’ll find reception open every day during the winter season, 08:00–22:00.
The lounge is open to lodge and restaurant guests, with the fireplace lit on winter days. Take a seat before dinner or when you come back from outside.
Dinner at the lodge
The restaurant has 22 seats in the main lodge, with the forest beyond the glass. Join us for dinner and spend part of the evening around the table.
Private sauna, jacuzzi and ice swimming
You can book a private session in the sauna, outdoor jacuzzi and ice-swimming hole close to the lodge. All three are available through the winter season, for your own group.
Looking after the setting
We kept trees during construction wherever possible. We recycle, reduce single-use plastics where practical, and use local ingredients and suppliers when we can.
