Winter
November – April
Polar night, deep snow and the northern lights straight overhead. This is the season people fly here for.
- Northern lights
From late August to early April, with the best odds between September and March. There is no streetlight for kilometres, so you do not have to go anywhere — step out of the door and look up.
- Snow
The ground is under snow from November to early May. Temperatures run from −5 °C to −40 °C. Both cabins are heated with wood and electricity and stay warm through the night. In the coldest weather you will need to keep the fire running — that is the Arctic Lapland way.
- Skiing
Ylläs is 35 minutes away: 63 slopes and 330 km of cross-country trails. Snowmobile and husky trips can be booked separately.
- Cold plunge
The Hideaway's spring-fed cold plunge runs in the summer season, at +4 °C. In winter you can cut a hole in the river ice if you want to — the auger and the ice saw are on site.
