    Kakslauttanen - Finnish resort

    March 12, 2019 in Finland ⋅ ☀️ -18 °C

The snow resort is made up of an east and west village. Each village has glass igloos, log cabins and combo cabins (half igloo, half cabin). There is also a restaurant, bar and small shop, with loads of activities to keep everyone busy. The huskies are kept nearby, and they have about 200 dogs. All they do is pull tourists along. When they’re not working they are individually chained up near their kennels. I’m not sure if I actually agree with this.

Tonight we move to a log cabin which has its own sauna.Read more
