【Traveling in Finland 公主背包客。芬蘭住宿篇】Inari Aurora Resort Hotel。強力推薦Inari追極光住宿 @ Princess Backpacker Una 烏娜的秘密花園

It was like an impossible dream for me to see the aurora. Finally I had the chance to visit Finland, because of the MATKA. I almost flew half way around the earth to make my dream come true. It was 36 hours flight from Sydney, Australia to Helsinki, Finland. I transferred twice in 2 airports. I took the night train and bus from Helsinki to Inari. It was a quite long trip to Lapland, but it was worth it.

Inari was my priority place to see the aurora in Finland. I saw there were many people shared their experience for seeing the aurora there. Your biggest chance to see the Northern lights in Lapland Finland will be at a higher latitude. Arctic Circle: 66° 33' 39" N; Inari: 68° 39' 34”. Especially the lake Inari is a perfect place to watch the northern lights in Inari as it is an open space without light pollution.

The bus stopped in front of VisitInari.fi company. It was the first bus stop in Inari. The company offer hotel and cabin accommodation and a wide selection of wilderness safaris and Sámi culture tours all year round.

I was going to stay in Inari Aurora Resort. Let's go check in here.

Here is Check in reception. I talked with the staff for a while. She was so curious why so many Taiwanese came here to see the Norther lights. I answers her "We thought here is the best place to see the aurora in Finland." I think most of Taiwanese had the strong faith to see the Northern lights here, after all it is so far away from Taiwan to Finland.

I was sponsored by VisitInari.fi company to stay in this new hotel＂Inari aurora resort". Double room from 138€/night. Single room from 118€/night. One person rooms are the same as for two persons.

This hotel built in 2014. Excellent location for watching aurora. It's next to the Inari lake. All rooms have their own sauna and most rooms have a direct view onto Inari lake. The hotel is by the Inari lake, so you can see Northern Lights directly from there, you don't need any transfer.

The room key was so beautiful. Good sign to see the aurora tonight.

You will get a breakfast voucher after check in. Presenting this voucher to HOTEL INARI, then you can enjoy the buffet breakfast.

The entrance hallway view from the room. There was a small space to separate from the bedroom.

There was a wardrobe in the entrance hallway. It's a simple and smart space design. You can leave your coat and shoes covered by the snow here, then your bedroom won't get wet. The snow can't go through the front door as well.

You still have another wardrobe in the bedroom.

You can see it was like a brand new room. I love the modern interior design.The precious metal color was a little bit luxury.

You can see the Inari lake view when you open the curtain. You don't need to suffer in the cold weather for waiting the aurora. You can check the aurora in the room.

All rooms have their own sauna.

You can enjoy the sauna with your partner or friend. It will be great to enjoy it after suffering in the very cold weather.

The shower in the bathroom.

The hair dryer in the bathroom.

The luxury resort low pressure rainfall shower head. You can enjoy a hot shower here.

In the en-suite bathroom there was a sauna and shower. You can have a shower after and before the sauna.

The hotel provided the energy shower gel. It's good for your skin and the earth.

I was still so excited after the Aurora Snowmobile Expedition tour tour. I met one Taiwanese couple during my trip. They also stayed in Inari this night for seeing the aurora. They told me the aurora would finish soon, so I went to the Inari lake again to see the aurora. I only walked about 2-3 mins from my room to the Inari lake. I was so lucky to have found the dancing Aurora again.

The Taiwanese took me this photo. I was so touched in this night. I was with my baby to see the amazing aurora. I only saw the ice lake in the movie, but I was standing on the ice lake in this night. Fantastic night in Inari.

A little bit the aurora borealis with the hotel.

You can return your room key in this mailbox.

Thanks my sponsor VisitInari.fi company help me to see the beautiful aurora and stay in Inari Aurora Resort hotel. I had the wonderful experience with my baby in Inar. It was a little pity I only stayed in Inari about 13 hours, but I had a an unforgettable night here. VisitInari.fi company made my dream came true in Inari.

-------------------------

對於這輩子能看到極光這件事，在Una心中一直都像是個遙不可及的夢想。要不是這次剛好到芬蘭參加國際研討會，不然Una也沒有這種千載難逢到北歐追極光的好機會。這次Una繞了地球半圈，從南半球的雪梨飛到北歐的芬蘭，途中轉了兩次飛機，歷經這輩子最長的飛程時間36小時。然後再從赫爾辛基，一路夜宿火車、公車才到了芬蘭最北部的北極圈拉普蘭區(Lapland)，真的可以說是千里迢迢來北極圈，就只為了圓看極光這麼夢想啊!

在出發前，位於芬蘭北極圈的Inari，本來就是Una預計追極光的首選之地。先前就看到不少網友分享在Inari看到極光的機率極高，原本打定主意就是在赫爾辛基參加完研討會後，就殺去Inari待幾天，看看自己是否能幸運的看到極光。基本上只要在芬蘭北極圈的Lapland區都有看到極光的機會，只是愈往高緯度走，看到極光的機率又會更高。北極圈的緯度是66°33′ 39"，而Inari的緯度是68° 39' 34”。

巴士一到達Inari的第一站就是VisitInari.fi 旅行社的門口，這裡可以幫你安排各種活動和住宿，一整年都有很多活動可以選擇。

這裡也是我這次準備入住飯店Inari Aurora Resort的check in地點，現在就直接拖著行李進去Check in吧!

進來check in囉! 我跟照片中這位員工聊了許久，她說她很好奇，她遇到超多台灣人都來這裡看極光，都覺得來這裡就一定會看到極光。我回答說：「對啊！」心想：「台灣鄉民力量很大的，Inari真的就是台灣人認為在芬蘭最容易看到極光的地方啊！」台灣人大老遠從台灣飛來芬蘭看極光的信念很強好嗎?哈

很幸運的Una被贊助到這間去年才剛新落成的Inari Aurora Resort Hotel。每間都是雙人房，房價為138歐元起。老闆很好如果單人入住不會收雙人房的價錢，會比較便宜。單人入住房價118歐元起，房間價錢會因淡旺季而有所變動。

(飯店樓梯外牆的設計帶點日式風格。)

這間去年2014才新建的Inari Aurora Resort Hotel一樣位於Inari Lake旁，就位於Inari Hotel的後面而已，而且離Inari湖更近，大部分的房間都是可以看到湖景的。

Check in後，會發房間的磁卡給你，上面還有極光的照片真用心，這應該也是個祝房客會看到極光的好徵兆。

Check in也會送一張早餐卷，就在隔壁的Inari Hotel吃自助式早餐，我當天入住的是502房。

這是進門後的玄關空間，是從房間內往玄關拍的角度。

這個空間的設計很好，因為從外面看完極光回來，身上和鞋子上肯定都是雪，所以可以讓沾雪的外套和鞋子都先掛在玄關的衣架，這樣房間的地面就不會因為融化的雪水變得溼答答的，還有打開門時的風雪，也不會吹進房間裏頭啦！

這張是我站在房間更裡面往玄關的方向拍，所以進房後，還是有另一個衣櫃讓你掛衣物。

房間的配色我很喜歡，帶點金屬感的時尚設計，簡單俐落。今晚我又跟我中的寶寶一起入住雙人房，有舒服的大床可以睡，真是太棒啦!

窗外就是Inari湖，可以先透過窗戶查看外面是否有極光再出門，不用傻傻的在外面受風寒等著看極光。

這間飯店的每間房間都有自己專屬的私人桑拿室，可以跟同行的朋友或另一半一起享受正港的芬蘭桑拿浴。

尤其在外面寒冷的天氣下看完極光，回到房裡享受個桑拿浴肯定很舒服。只是Una當時懷孕，所以對這間桑拿室無福享受。這裡Una也要很慎重的叮嚀，那就是孕婦不能使用桑拿浴的，尤其前三個月肚中的寶寶非常脆弱，承受不起這樣的高溫，請好好呵護在你體內的新生命。

關於孕婦是否能蒸桑拿的網頁是給準媽媽和準爸爸看的。解疑答惑：孕婦可以泡溫泉、蒸桑拿嗎？

浴室設計很簡單，地面跟淋浴間的磁磚顏色都是同一色系。

洗手台區，有另外的梳妝鏡和吹風機。

很注重環保的飯店，用得是綠色環保沐浴乳，不傷肌膚，洗出來的泡泡好對環境也比較好唷!

超讚的SPA花撒蓮蓬頭，無論冬天夏天使用都很享受啊!

私人桑拿室就在淋浴間隔壁，可以先沖澡，然後蒸完桑拿再洗乾淨，很方便。

晚上參加完雪上摩托車遠征極光團之後，回到飯店稍作休息一下，對於看極光還是超迷戀的。Una在旅遊途中遇到的一對夫妻，剛好這一晚也是待Inari。女生跟我一樣都是孕婦，特地來北歐追極光。他們就說極光應該快沒了，所以我趁趁極光快消失前，趕快再冒著寒冷的天氣，出門看極光。飯店走到湖大約只有2-3分鐘，很幸福不用走太遠可以看到舞動的極光。

特地請對方幫我拍下這張難得的極光合照，原來看極光有點光害也是有好處的，至少可以拍到這種很清楚的全身照啊!(從照片可以看得出，因為半夜太冷，都已經沒甚麼人在看極光了。)這是我跟極光寶寶唯一一張跟極光清楚的合照啊!!!!這晚是Una第一次站在冰湖上很興奮，以前只有在電影中看到湖面結冰的畫面，現在卻能親身經歷站在冰湖上的滋味，還能跟肚子裡的極光寶寶一起看遠處舞動的極光，真的太感動、太幸福了。
