Our stay at the resort was a magical experience, highlighted by the stunning Northern Lights right from our cozy igloo. The activities offered were exhilarating, especially the husky sledding, which added the perfect adventure to our trip. However, dining experiences could be improved, as the food wasn't always served hot, and there were limited choices. Overall, the resort is a unique experience worth the price.

Our stay at the resort was quite the adventure, with stunning views of nature and unique accommodations in igloos. While many aspects were charming and offered a cozy atmosphere, the dining and service left much to be desired, which diminished our experience overall. Nonetheless, the wide variety of activities made up for some shortcomings.
