Owner's Message
Our small, boutique-style glass igloo is located in Finnish Lapland, close to the vacation destination of Levi. Kittilä airport is about a 15-minute drive from us. During the high season, there are several non-stop international flights to Kittilä every week and several flights from Helsinki every day.
From one man's dream to the best igloo experience in Lapland
Levin Iglut - Golden Crown was born of Tauno Mäkelä's dream. He found himself on the slopes of Utsuvaara, where the view was unforgettable, and wanted to share it with others too. Four luxurious glass igloos were completed on the site in 2008. This also marked the start of a family business dedicated to offering customers the best igloo experience in Lapland. Today there are 27 glass igloos and services are complemented by the Utsu restaurant. Personalized, sincere service continues to be the basis of everything we do.

RESTAURANT UTSU
On a breathtaking spot on Levitunturi Utsuvaara stands a glass-roofed tower - the Utsu restaurant. Restaurant Utsu continues the saga of Levin Iglut's restaurants, with pure Arctic nature and its changing seasons at its center. Our menu of pure, tasty ingredients and responsible local produce, together with the warm ambience and surrounding landscape, guarantees refreshment for body and mind.
We are inspired by Arctic nature and the purest air in Europe that we can breathe here. We harvest some of our ingredients ourselves from the forests in the immediate vicinity: mushrooms, berries, lichen... there are also fish-rich rivers and lakes nearby, as well as the Norwegian fjords and mountains with all they have to offer.
The strong seasonal variations in the north, from midnight sun to polar night, make the flavors intense and affect the availability of ingredients. They inspire by using seasonal ingredients and cooking methods that preserve natural flavors. Our menu lives with the season and changes throughout the season.
For a complete experience, our portions are designed to enjoy multiple courses. We also hope you'll set aside enough time to enjoy your evening with us.
From November 1st
3-course chef's menu €69
5-course chef's menu 82€
Members' reviews on GOLDEN CROWN - LEVIN IGLUT
The ratings and reviews below reflect the subjective opinions of members and not the opinion of The Little Witty.
Le dîner a été servi un peu lentement, mais les portions étaient justes et délicieuses.
Le cadeau du service d'étage était très gentil ! Je vous remercie.
Les chambres sont plus sèches que ce à quoi je m'attendais, il faut donc prendre des mesures pour les garder au sec. Les équipements sont petits au sens japonais du terme, je vous recommande donc de vous y préparer.
2.Le restaurant était pitoyable, nous avons informé bien à l'avance de nos restrictions alimentaires. Pendant le séjour, on nous a servi des légumes crus. Les pains n'ont pas été remplis au buffet malgré plusieurs rappels et aucun membre du personnel ne s'en est soucié
3.Alerte / alarme d'aurores boréales - Il n'y a pas de sirène dans l'hôtel, on nous a demandé de nous connecter à un APP qui nous alertera. Pendant notre séjour, il y avait des aurores boréales sur les nuages, mais l'APP n'a pas donné d'alerte, heureusement parce que nous avions une autre APP installée, nous avons reçu une alerte. Même lorsque nous sommes sortis, il y avait trop de lumières allumées, nous avons dû demander au réceptionniste d'éteindre les lumières principales, mais à cause d'autres lumières, nous avons dû quitter la propriété
4.Bien qu'il s'agisse d'un séjour de catégorie supérieure, nous avons trouvé que l'ensemble de l'expérience n'était pas équivalente à une catégorie supérieure, que nous classerions dans une propriété 3 étoiles, il n'y avait pas de groom pour le transfert des bagages, à part les igloos et le haut-parleur du maréchal, nous n'avons pas trouvé de valeur ou d'expérience supérieure dans le séjour
5.Bien qu'il s'agisse d'un séjour de catégorie supérieure, il n'y a pas d'activités récréatives
6.Le personnel du restaurant n'était pas aimable avec les clients
7. Après notre séjour, on ne nous a même pas demandé de fournir un formulaire d'évaluation des clients, que ce soit par courriel ou sous forme physique, même le site Web ne prévoit pas d'espace pour écrire des évaluations.
Dans l'ensemble, le séjour ne vaut pas la peine d'être catégorisé comme un séjour premium ou luxueux et nous n'en avons pas eu pour notre argent
