Dine inside a heated glass igloo deep in a snowbound Lapland forest while the Arctic sky stages a possible northern lights show. This private, three-hour evening combines a gourmet 3-course meal, warm seclusion, and guided transport from Rovaniemi.

Dress in layers
Temperatures can plummet—wear insulated base, mid, and outer layers plus warm boots to stay comfortable during transfers and short outdoor moments.
