What they say
Also in Wallpaper*.
The completely insulated interiors are predictably Scandi-chic with a reindeer and husky fur-theme to drive home the illusion of remote adventurism.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Set beside Pallas-Yllästunturi National Park, the remote lakeside wilderness offers endless snowshoe trails, husky safaris, and pristine night skies.
The rooms
Insulated geodesic domes feature wood-burning fireplaces and north-facing transparent walls framing clear views of the northern lights.
The saunas
Wood-fired Finnish saunas sit along the shore of Lake Torassieppi for warming up after sub-zero excursions.
Dogs stay too.
At the table
Lappish dinners are served beside an open stone hearth and within a traditional candlelit wooden kota.
How it began
The grounds originate from an authentic 1847 reindeer herding farm, preserving Lappish pastoral traditions beside the national park.
