Wilderness Hotel Inari & Igloos

  : We stayed in one of the Wilderness rooms for 2 nights. As soon as we arrived at 4.30pm, I rented the aurora alarm for 10euro a night and walked a minute across the courtyard to the room block. It is literally a stone throw away and the auroras started happening over the lake. For anyone curious, our auroras were kind of bright grey and you could see lines in the sky but not bright green. When you take a photo with your phone however they are bright green. To see with your eyes it depends on the strength of the aurora. But thankful to have seen them as we'd been in lapland 4 nights already and Kakuslatten to no avail.The beds are comfortable with nice hot water, TV, and you can pick up warm clothing for free with your stay between 8 and 9am in the morning (or I think 6 and 7 in the pm]. The buffet breakfast was 7am to 10am. Toast station with jam or ready made batter mix for toasting your own waffles. Salad and cheese/hams. Bacon/beans and scrambled eggs/hard boiled eggs/red small franfurter sausages and meatballs. Tea/coffee/water. Cereals also. So the buffet was quite a good selection.
  : Even though we saw aurora, there was quite a lot of light pollution from nearby cabins still with their lights on.This is generic to lapland in general. If you want snacks outside of meal times, it is 5 euro for half a tub of pringles. 5 euro for thin chocolate slab. Or 3 bars of choc for 5 euros. I bought 1 half tub, 2 choc slabs, thin fanta and bag of crisps and its like 25 euro. I felt Each time I bought a snack for 2 people it was around 25/30 euro.The husky safari we went on was not as good as at kakslauttenen. It goes over the frozen lake inari when we visited in December 13th and 14th. The dogs seem to poop the whole way which obviously can't help but ours seemed to just have the runs. Being face level with the dogs was a bit gross then if you're the one sitting in the sleigh. We then sled over all the other dogs poop. I'm not an expert but just my experience. This wasn't the case in kakslauttenen. Also the dogs here at inari, there were very few typical looking Husky. Kakslauttenen had more than looked Husky like. The aurora hunting activity was on our.last night 8pm until 11pm. It was super cloudy and we drove pretty much to the border with Norway. However we didn't see anything. This can't be helped by the organisers. Just little personal disappointment with this as it cost so much. The two guides were so lovely though and we did get hot juice/biscuits and offered hand warmers etc.

  : Best location in Inari lake to see Northern Light. Good buffet Breakfast/dinner. Amazing sauna with lake view.
  : I don't suggest to do "Aurora hunting by car" as activity ( 3 hours outdoor, very cold and no aurora to see) . You can admire Aurora easily outside the hotel between 5 and 8 p.m.It would be great a free shuttle 2/3 times a day to visit Inari (40 minutes walking).

  : I was not allowed to change my food as I did not want to eat pork for religious reasons. So therefore, had to pay extra. It was a bit annoying. But generally nice vacation.
