the location is atop a hill. it is next to a ski resort. i viewed aurora borealis from my room. the restaurant offered tasty dishes.
there were very few VEGAN or vegetarian options. room service could be improved. cleaning was not done for three days. i was missing more attention to those services.

Wonderful Stay with Aurora Views
northern lights packed breakfast i c y w i n d o w s
the staff called when the northern lights was as we requested. they also provided a packed breakfast since we had to leave very early. the heating system was especially appreciated during the cold nights.
the windows did not have the clearest views, even with the heater to melt the ice. this made it difficult to fully enjoy the scenery from the room.
Rooms
9/10
the room featured two floors and very comfortable beds with separate nordic mattresses. valley views were accessible from the room, though other rooms are nearby. a sauna was located inside the room for private use with good space.
