Lapland Hotels SnowVillage
Lainion Lumikylä
An ice and snow hotel and ice sculpture gallery rebuilt from scratch every winter, with an ice bar, ice chapel and sleepable ice suites.
The Lapland Hotels SnowVillage stands in Lainio village, between Levi and Ylläs. It covers about 20,000 square metres and is rebuilt each year from snow and ice by artists, often around a film or TV theme. Highlights include the ice sculpture corridors, the ice bar (where drinks are served in ice glasses), the ice chapel and the ice restaurant. You can also spend the night in an ice suite at around -5°C, equipped with polar sleeping bags. Tickets start at about €20 and can include a guided tour. It's 35 km from Levi, and many tour operators run half-day trips. Inside, the temperature stays at around -5°C, so wear warm clothing and non-slip footwear.
Opening hours
Approx. mid-December–April, around 10:00 am–10:00 pm
