Northern Light Hut 1 - Paradise Lapland

LydiaRating, 5 stars2 months ago

The location is heavenly, the huts are small but functional, even for a slightly longer stay (we stayed 6 nights). We could see beautiful northern lights. If there's one thing, I'd say it might be helpful to create a storage space under the beds to better store luggage. Thank you for this great stay!
