Kakslauttanen is located around 10km away from the nearest shop, which is located in Saariselkä. We have more shops in Ivalo, around 40km away from the resort. For many this is very far away, and many people are used to have shops very near them and maybe they are used to walk to the nearest shop. 

You might be thinking that how shopping is then arranged in a resort like this? We have a group, where we agree shopping trips on a weekly bases, then we of course need a driver who drivers the van, where is space for 9 people to Ivalo or to Saariselkä. Also, in a place like this is more important to plan what you are eating, and people who are living in Lapland area usually go to the store max ones per week and when they visit a grocery store, then we also buy stuff for many weeks!

Also shopping in here takes much more time, as trip to the store and back takes about 1hour + time used in a store. However, when there is light and you can see the views, it's very unique and beautiful, regardless how long you have been here, the view will still amaze you.😊

Then heading back to home and trying to fit all the food to the fridge and freezer. 😊
