In Collaboration with The Guide Father. Updated on February 13, 2026.
What could be better than spending an evening in the bosom of nature, on the lake, surrounded by forests. A unique opportunity to enjoy Lapland cuisine cooked right on the fire, glass walls allow you to get in touch with nature, while being in the warmth and comfort of an unusual ball. And if you are lucky with the weather, then looking into the sky you can see not only the stars, but also flashes

Itinerary
Day 1
Evening private pickup from Rovaniemi, transfer to a secluded glass-igloo dinner site approximately 30 km from town. Dinner by the fire with Finnish sausages and Glögi, guided stories and Aurora watching where possible. Return to Rovaniemi at the end of the 3-hour experience.
Private pickup and pre-departure briefing
Your guide and driver will pick you up from your accommodation or a provided address in Rovaniemi, give a short safety and itinerary briefing, and confirm contact details before departure.
Tips from local experts:
- Provide the full pickup address and a mobile contact number in advance so the guide can meet you directly at the door or reception.
- Dress in warm layered clothing — coats, hats and insulated footwear — even though transport is heated.
- Have any medication, necessary infant equipment, or mobility notes ready to share with the guide at pickup.
Transfer by private (VIP) car to the glass igloo site
Private vehicle transfer from your pickup point to the remote lakeside glass-igloo dining site. Expect a scenic drive through forested roads; the meeting notes state the site is approximately 30 km from Rovaniemi.
Tips from local experts:
- Expect a 30–45 minute drive; use the time to store phones and cameras safely while dressing for the outdoors.
- Windows may fog on colder nights; keep a dry cloth handy in your bag to clear lenses for photos after arrival.
- WiFi is available on board per the activity details, but mobile signal can be intermittent on the route—save emergency contacts in your phone beforehand.
Dinner by the fire inside the glass igloo & Northern Lights watching
Enjoy Lapland-style dinner cooked on the fire (including traditional Finnish sausages and Glögi), guided storytelling and a relaxed sit-by-the-fire experience inside the warm glass-walled igloo. If conditions permit, the guide will point out Northern Lights and stars visible from the site.
Tips from local experts:
- The experience is outdoors/partially outdoors in a glass-walled setting—bring a warm outer layer as occasional doors/openings expose the interior to outdoor air.
- Photography tip for couples: use a tripod or steady surface and night mode to capture Aurora; avoid using flash when others are watching the sky.
- Let the guide know of any dietary restrictions ahead of time; the activity description includes snacks and dinner prepared on site.
Return transfer and drop-off in Rovaniemi
Private return drive to your original pickup location or agreed drop-off point in Rovaniemi. The guide will confirm drop-off details during the return.
Tips from local experts:
- Expect the return drive to take approximately 20–40 minutes depending on road conditions; allow extra time if roads are snowy or icy.
- If you need first-aid items or assistance entering your accommodation, tell the guide before arrival so they can help.
- Keep jackets and small personal items with you when leaving the site—the vehicle will be available immediately for loading.
