Step into a Crystal Lavvo for a once-in-a-lifetime adventure. Sleep in a Lavvo heated by a wood-burning fireplace for an authentic Arctic experience. Equipped with a glass ceiling so you can keep an eye on the sky at all times, even from the comfort of your bed.
Enjoy the freedom of having the whole night to search for the northern lights from the warmth and coziness of your Lavvo. If you are lucky, you might even catch different “Releases” during the night.
