Spend the night in a one-of-a-kind, eco-friendly Igluhut at Nuuksio Reindeer Park, where you can feed reindeer right from your hut’s window. Our guide will also take you inside the fenced reindeer area upon arrival for a hands-on feeding experience and photo opportunities, while sharing fascinating insights about reindeer.
The Igluhut offers a rustic experience in the heart of Nuuksio National Park, about 30 km (30 min) from Helsinki city center and the airport.
Each handcrafted Igluhut is made from natural materials. The design uniquely combines centuries-old shingle technology with modern knowledge and craftsmanship. The exterior is covered with spruce shingles, while the interior features over 2,500 aspen shingles.
The Igluhut accommodates two guests in a cozy double bed and includes linen, an eco-friendly toilet, a sink for handwashing, a summer-season shower on the outdoor terrace, electric heating, a mini fridge, an electric kettle, a pressure cooker, and coffee/tea/water. There is also a gas grill on the outdoor terrace.
You’ll receive a bucket of lichen to feed the reindeer. We have two identical 2-person Igluhuts: Naava and Pihka. Pets are not allowed.
Check-in starts at 3:00 PM and check-out is at 11:00 AM. Upon arrival, a guide will take you on a short visit to the reindeer park, where you can learn about the reindeer and feed them lichen. The hut also has buckets of lichen for feeding reindeer from your hut's window.
Additional options are available upon request: breakfast supplies, evening snack basket, romance package, and bike rental.
Located adjacent to Nuuksio National Park, you have easy access to the surrounding nature. Marked nature trails begin right at the corner. The Finnish Nature Centre Haltia and Restaurant Haltia are located one kilometer away, while Swinghill Ski Resort and Bike Park are approximately 700 meters away from the Igluhuts.
Note: There are no shops or restaurants in Nuuksio National Park other than the Finnish Nature Centre Haltia. Opening hours for Haltia's café-restaurant can be checked online.
