Igloo village - travel with skis
Here out on an inlet of the Skabram Lake, just a few kilometres from Jokkmokk village, the starlight, the moon and hopefully the Northern lights, cast a special light over the igloo village and its dome shaped igloos. The beauty of nature is the most spectacular part of what we can offer you.
The Igloo village is open from the beginning of December 2011 to 16th of March 2012.
Welcome to a night in an igloo on the Arctic Circle!
Burning camp fires meet us on our arrival to the forest. Skis on and away we go. This type of travel is a warming and natural way of getting to the igloo village, as you generate your own body heat by skiing. A short tour on wooden skis is only the beginning of an evening and night in the beauty of the snow.
An igloo menu awaits us in the igloo village. We find our ingredients in the natural forest around us – the meat, berries and a local cheese, all served with a hot blackcurrant drink (non alcoholic). The Igloo dinner is served beside the fire in the tipi tent.
A white dome shaped, handmade snow igloo will soon be your home for the night.
A hot blackcurrant drink in a wooden cup and a wood heated sauna will warm you up in the cold morning. At the end of the igloo tour, before the return trip, we eat breakfast in the “cabin”. For those how travel with skis back, we offer a surprise...
