        • PLEASE NOTE! Our igloos are different every year since we are building them from scratch every December. We allocate igloos to customers based on the number of people in each party and the order of arrival of the customers.
        • There is a warm area (base camp) next to the igloos, anyone with cold feet or other reasons can sleep in one of the sofas/beds inside (there is not a toilet or a shower inside an igloo, a bathroom and shower are available in a basecamp). There is one shower available for the igloo guests.
        • The storage of luggage takes place inside the igloo basecamp in the common areas. Each igloo has a locked safety box (inside the igloo basecamp) where you can store your most valuable belongings, electronics, etc.
        • Igloo basecamp serves as a cafe during the daytime and as a restaurant in the evenings so please note that it’s a shared area with other customers. For that reason there’s no kitchen access to the customers. We offer dinner by reservation (Make sure to book at the latest the day before arrival sales@luckyranch.fi). You can find the menus HERE (linkki) or you can eat somewhere else before the arrival.
        • Breakfast time is 8-10 and it’s included in the igloo overnight

        • Free wifi and Northern Lights alarm system called Aurora Alert Realtime is available at Lucky Ranch igloo basecamp
        • We recommend the igloo experience for healthy adults and children aged 8 and older. The temperature inside the snow igloo is always below zero celcius, so there is a risk of frostbite associated with the activity. All overnight igloo guests must be able to ensure that they stay inside their winter sleeping bags throughout the night. Lucky Ranch is not responsible for any illness or accidents if customers do not follow the given dressing and operating instructions.
        What to bring
