See millions of stars from a premium class hotel (or, if you're lucky, even the Northern Lights) ✨ ✨@glass_resort on the Arctic Circle opens at 30th September. ✨In all probability, there won't be snow by then as the first snow is normally due sometime between October and November. Permanent snow arrives later. #rovaniemi #visitrovaniemi #glassresort #lapland #arcticcircle
