History
Originally operating as Aurora Camp, the family-owned property was rebuilt in 2022 as a design-focused retreat of heated glass-roof igloos. The north-facing site on the Torne River at Poikkijärvi was chosen for low light pollution and sky visibility, with wooden cabins and panoramic glass structures minutes from Icehotel.
