How many people get to say they’ve slept on a frozen lake under the northern lights?! 😮✨
These little cabins are very basic, maybe not ideal for anyone who wants luxury - but - they are on skis 😮 and each evening the owner drags you onto a frozen lake with his snow mobile. No light pollution, no noise, just pure peace (aside from the sound of occasional cracking ice, which is apparently normal 😅😆)
These cabins are with @lakeinarimobilecabins - it was a few years ago that we went. I think they get booked up quite far in advance now - but message the fella, it’s naturally cheaper to book direct 🤍

This is one of the best Eurocamps we’ve been to, particularly for families who love a waterpark! There are so many slides, splash areas and pools to spend the day exploring. On top of that you’re right by a beach, close to the gorgeous city of Venice and there’s even a fun fair!
If you want more information on this camp comment GUIDE and ill send you our Union lido review and guide 💛
This was a PR trip from 2025 but this post and guide were made independently as it’s one of our favourite camps ✨
