Skylight Cabins

A warm welcome to Skylight Cabins!

Skylight Cabins is the cozy cabin in the middle of the forest next to the Lapland village of Paksuniemi. Here you have the chance to stay in the real wilderness close to both animals and nature while enjoying modern amenities to get the best out of your stay.

From the cabins at Skylight Cabins you have the chance to experience the magical northern lights from all angles, especially from the large skylights. Sit back in the warm and comfortable bed and experience this magical natural phenomenon.

In the area of Skylight Cabins, about 100 m from the cabins, you will find a sauna, toilet and cooking area. If you walk 200 m in the other direction, you will find the incredibly beautiful and cozy designed viewpoint "Aurora Dome". Aurora Dome is a must visit when staying at Skylight Cabins. An idyllic place where you wait for the northern lights in an igloo-like building. Located far from all the light pollution and other disturbances of the cities, you get the chance to see the best side of the Northern Lights.

A typical evening at Skylight Cabins in search of the magical Northern Lights might look something like this: Guests are led to the igloo dome through the scenic forest with confident and experienced steps, once there they are served a homemade mushroom soup with bread and coffee/tea to keep them warm inside. Inside the Igloo dome, a lovely fire burns to keep the ambient temperature as comfortable as possible. There are also unique stories about the Northern Lights waiting to be highlighted above.

If that's not enough, you can go on an exclusive night tour in a specially built vehicle, made to maximize the experience of the Northern Lights. Here you and your friends can enjoy a private format and chase the finest of the Northern Lights. The vehicle has a 360-degree viewing window which further maximizes the experience and allows you to stay inside in the warmth while the spectacle takes place outside. The guides accompanying the tour are experts in finding the best opportunities to see the phenomenon. Departure from Skylight Cabins can be chosen between 19:00 and 21:00 in the evening when the chances are highest. These tours can be experienced from September through to the end of March.

The resort is run by Lapland Wilderness Tours. The experienced guides here know exactly what it takes to make you feel at one with nature. They offer dog sledding tours where you can experience traveling at high speed, pulled by Mother Nature's most enduring dogs (Huskies). In the middle of the beautiful winter country, if you are lucky, you will see both reindeer and moose wandering freely around the landscape. The tour takes between 2-3 hours depending on weather and wind.

If you prefer to go by machine, there are also snowmobile tours to experience next to the facility and Lapland Wilderness Tours. Here you experience nature with speed and fan in small groups to get as personal an experience as possible.
