The Hotel on Skis: Kilpisjärvi

Known worldwide for the remote tundra and unbeatable views of the Northern Lights, Finland tops many bucket lists. With unique glamping opportunities, glass-dome huts and a variety of stays dedicated to your view of the night sky, it’s difficult to picture more imaginative accommodations — but that was before the hotel on skis came about.

Picture the most glamorous mobile camper and you might have a rough idea of Kilpisjärvi camps in the Arctic Circle. Towed into a remote wilderness location, the unique cabin stay is just one of three rooms. Sit back and roll out to the prime location for relaxing under the Northern Lights — all from the comfort of your bed. Book a room for two and make it a getaway, or check out all three for a unique family experience.
