The village poses a very unique travel experience, where you can combine the isolation and peace of the forest (next to a beautiful lake) with the luxuries of modern life. The hosts will do everything in their power to make your stay more pleasurable and are themselves the heart and soul of Skyfire Village.

This lets us provide our guests with one of the best places in the world to see the northern lights and Lapland’s starry sky at their brightest.

Because we are really in the wilderness of Lapland, you can't get all the way to destination by car. However, you can get to the vicinity of the village by car, where our staff is waiting for you and the rest of the trip is a sled ride - pulled by snowmobile. The sled ride lasts ca. 10 minutes. As our customer, you’ll be able to enjoy the spectacular Lapland landscape already on your way to the village. There are also transfers to the village from the center of Rovaniemi every day, so if you wish, you can order a transfer after booking.

From your comfortable bed, you have a clear view of the sky, which takes admiring the northern lights and the stars on a whole new level! In front of the large panoramic window, there are two comfortable designer armchairs and a table. The atmospheric fireplace keeps the temperature of the igloo just right.
