Arctic SnowHotel & Glass Igloos 3* —
Prepare yourself for a holiday experience like no other. The Arctic SnowHotel & Glass Igloos 3 * is composed of the famous SnowHotel, a building of spectacular beauty carved out of snow and ice each year giving it a whole new look, and magnificent glass-roofed igloos offering an exceptional panoramic view.
Glass-roofed igloos offer the opportunity to sleep under the starry sky and watch the Northern Lights, if you're lucky enough to see them!
The first SnowHotel opened in December 2008 and since then a new building has been built every year. The walls and furniture surfaces in the unique rooms have pretty ice decorations. The ambient temperature is 0-5C °. It also has a chapel, restaurant and ice bar, and is open to visitors from 15th December.
Get ready to marvel at the enchanting shores of the lake in the moonlight, gaze out at the stars and watch the Northern Lights illuminate your surroundings.

Your Board Basis
Just for you:
- One complimentary dinner at Log Restaurant Lumikartano (any night of stay)
This offer is based on a Bed and Breakfast stay.
The generous buffet breakfast served at Log Restaurant Lumikartano offers a wide variety of dishes for a nourishing start to your day. The reception also has a cafeteria, an atmospheric lounge with an open fireplace and a small souvenir shop. The building, made of massive logs, is a magnificent sight in itself, and the famous Ice Restaurant offers tasty dinners like braised Arctic Ocean salmon served with mashed potatoes with citrus and dill, roast moose or lentil stew, served on an ice table. At the Ice Bar, you don't order a drink with ice: you order a drink with ice. An iced glass gives drinks a whole new dimension and the experience is second to none. The bar's ice walls also have eerie, but magnificent sound qualities.
Optional Dinner in Kota (excludes drinks)
Join for a typical Lapland farewell dinner prepared by the fireplace in a wooden kota. Enjoy a traditional (three-course) dinner where fresh salmon is slowly grilled over a huge bonfire in the centre of Kota. After dinner, you may even want to have a drink at the Sky Bar.

Your Destination —
Lapland casts a powerful spell: the midnight sun, the aurora borealis (Northern Lights) and roaming reindeer are part of its allure – as is Santa Claus himself, who ‘officially’ resides here – along with the awesome latitudes. At Nuorgam, the northernmost point, you have passed Iceland and nearly all of Canada and Alaska.
Spanning 30% of Finland’s land area, Lapland is home to just 3% of its population. Its vast wilderness is ripe for exploring on foot, skis or sled. The sense of space, pure air and big skies are what's most memorable here, more so than the towns.
Lapland’s far north is known as Sápmi, home of the Sámi, whose main communities are around Inari, Utsjoki and Hetta. Rovaniemi, on the Arctic Circle, is the most popular gateway to the north.
