Kakslauttanen Arctic Resort

This glass igloo is the most famous; the resort facilities are well-equipped; 360-degree panoramic glass igloo. It is a 15-minute drive from the center of Saariselkä.
The location is excellent, just one street away from the center of Saariselkä, offering a quiet retreat in the midst of the hustle and bustle. Opened in 2016, it is very new. The half-glass house design features a half-open glass window facing north, with an en-suite bathroom; the facilities are complete, and it also offers snow activities. If you stay here, you can participate in activities such as dog sledding and snowmobiling nearby (the activity prices are within the normal range, without any premium); it offers great value for money, with peak season prices around 500 euros.
Located at the top of a ski mountain near Saariselkä, it offers the best views among the three main glass-roof hotels in Saariselkä and is an excellent spot for aurora observation. It just started operating this year, so it is very new. There are two types of rooms: one with a larger area of about 30 square meters, and another with a larger glass roof area but a smaller room size of about 20 square meters. The price is around 400 euros, offering great value for money.
360-degree panoramic glass igloos with private bathrooms. Features a unique ice and snow sauna, as well as a hot tub in the snowy landscape! Opened in 2014 and has been highly praised ever since.
Opened in 2016, the house is relatively large with new interior decorations and private bathrooms. It is almost a panoramic glass house with only one side against the wall (I personally find this design a bit awkward). It offers good value for money, with prices slightly lower than other glass houses, around 450-500 euros during peak season.

Nordic Panorama Cabin in the Wild

Just built this year, starting operations in late November to early December; extremely cost-effective, priced around 300 euros; container-style design with floor-to-ceiling windows facing north, offering an excellent view for observing the Northern Lights; not many people have heard of it yet, so it's relatively easy to book.

Seaside Glass Villa

Just started operating last year, the facilities are very new and beautiful, with private bathrooms; a row of container-style white houses, two sides glass + glass roof, facing the Baltic Sea; next to a beautiful ice and snow castle; you can order meals and have them delivered to your room.
