Your gateway to the Northern Lights  

Surrounded by the snowy forests, the Miilu Northern Lights Cabins are located on the shoreline of Lake Ylläsjärvi.

Staying at this remote retreat you'll be in prime position to spot the Northern Lights.

These brand-new semi-detached cabins are furnished in a modern Finnish style with wood panelling and large windows overlooking the lake. Their quiet, secluded location makes for an excellent choice for your next arctic adventure. Each cabin has everything you need for a stay in Finnish Lapland, including a fully equipped kitchenette and dining area, a lounge with a television, and comfortable sleeping areas. And, after a day of activities in the great outdoors, warm up in your own private sauna.

Exploring Ylläs and beyond

During your stay you'll have the option to add on activities like downhill skiing at the nearby Ylläsjärvi Ski Resort. Try out exciting excursions such as, snowmobiling through the arctic tundra, husky sledding, a reindeer safari or a visit to the Snow Village to see the beautiful sculptures carved from ice and snow.
