Finland

Lake cabins, glass igloos and the silent winter forest

Families·Adventure·Honeymoons
The brief

Finland, in deep winter — glass igloos, frozen lakes and the silent forest.

Finnish Lapland is the most reliable place on earth to see the aurora. We send families to Kakslauttanen for the glass igloos and the husky day, couples to Octola for a private wilderness lodge, and design teams to Helsinki for a long architecture weekend.

Summer holds a quieter Finland — the lake cabins, the long forest walks, the midsummer.
