Lapland Hotels Snow Village

The art was actually impressive, but that's it. We went through it in about 20 minutes so 26€ for that is steep. There are no signs or nothing explaining to you what you are seeing. I've visited before and this is the worst one yet. They should have people patrolling around because children are touching every sculpture and climbing up every chance they get. The place getting smaller and service worse. It's also in the small details, like dirty bathroom and not having soap. I'm genuinely upset I spent the money. Yes, it's unique but not worth the hype. They need to step up their game.

Amazing dinner at the ice restaurant! The experience was really unique and such an interesting time. We had the place to ourselves for about 45-minutes. Everything that was brought out was delicious. The reindeer was cooked to perfection. The snowball dessert was so so good. The spruce serbet was incredible. The staff was also really great. They spoke very quietly but one server made it a point to come over and tell us that the Aurora was starting to show outside. We ran outside and they the sky put on a show for us. Highly recommend, but dress warmly and be prepared to drink your beverages fast otherwise they will freeze over!

We came to see the ice sculptures and was surprised to find that there was an ice restaurant there so we wanted to try that too! The receptionist was super nice and managed to get us a reservation 15 minutes later. I ordered the Lapland delicacies which were a really tasty starter! Then I had the reindeer served two ways which was incredible. The sauce you get with this is so so nice, and the green seasoning on one of the reindeer was super tasty, however I cannot remember what it was called. For dessert I had the snowball which is like an ice cream covered in white chocolate, lingonberry and spruce tips. Yummy. We then explored the ice village and saw some amazing sculptures. I think they change it every year as I was expecting there to be Game of Thrones sculptures based on the reviews I saw. Nonetheless, the sculptures for this season were still outstanding. Highly recommend it.

Lapland Hotels Snow Village is truly a unique experience. The atmosphere feels like something out of a fairytale. The ice sculptures and rooms are incredibly detailed and artistic; every corner leaves you amazed. Even though it’s cold inside, everything is well organized and designed with comfort in mind. It’s a perfect place for taking photos. One of the most impressive concept hotels I’ve ever seen. A must visit for anyone coming to Lapland an unforgettable experience.

Highly recommended. The SnowVillage is incredibly impressive – we’ve never seen anything like this before. The level of detail and craftsmanship in the snow and ice art is amazing, and everything is beautifully staged with lighting. A big plus is that your ticket allows you to go in and out as often as you like, so you can easily warm up in the restaurant if it gets too cold. Even though it’s a touristy attraction, it’s absolutely worth visiting to see how precisely and intricately snow can be shaped and transformed into art.

This place excited of our expectations. Wifi works fine, epassi pay was approved. Plenty of parking available. We recommend ice bar for hot vine/ chocolate. Some times snow rooms might be too full of people so with your moment.

Beautiful ice sculptures and a fabulous place to visit. Was a bit disappointed this year as they have stopped doing themed rooms, which makes the place a lot smaller for a visit. There used to be about 10 themed bedrooms, all fabulously carved from ice. These are not there now so you have 10 less places to visit for the same cost as previous years. Just 1 tiny room, carved into a recess. Slightly disappointing but still worth a visit to see the work that goes into creating this village.

Lapland Hotels SnowVillage in Kittilä – A True Winter Wonderland Masterpiece Nestled in the serene snowy landscapes of Kittilä, Finnish Lapland, the SnowVillage stands as one of the most extraordinary and enchanting attractions I’ve ever experienced. Every winter, skilled artists rebuild this magical frozen kingdom from scratch, and the result is nothing short of breathtaking. The snow castle itself is an architectural triumph – an immense, intricately designed structure of pure snow that feels both grand and otherworldly. Walking through its arched hallways and vast chambers, you’re immediately struck by the sheer scale and the crisp, ethereal beauty of it all. The play of light on the snow creates a soft, almost magical glow that makes every corner feel alive. But what truly elevates this place to another level are the stunning snow and ice sculptures. The craftsmanship is extraordinary: delicate, hyper-detailed figures, towering compositions, and imaginative scenes carved with astonishing precision and artistry. Each piece tells a story, blending creativity with technical mastery in a way that leaves you in constant awe. Whether it’s mythical creatures, futuristic visions, or pure abstract beauty, the sculptures are so finely executed that they rival the work of the world’s finest sculptors – only here, the medium is snow and ice, and that makes it all the more impressive. The atmosphere is serene yet wondrous, the cold air adding to the sense of stepping into a living fairy tale. Even the smallest details – the smooth curves of ice walls, the sparkle of frozen surfaces – show an obsessive level of care and talent. If you’re anywhere near Lapland during the winter season, I cannot recommend SnowVillage highly enough. It’s far more than a tourist stop – it’s a celebration of human creativity, nature’s raw materials, and the pure magic of the Arctic winter. Go see it, wander its halls, marvel at the sculptures, and let yourself be transported. You won’t regret it – in fact, you’ll probably want to come back every year! A definite must-visit. 10/10 – pure winter perfection. ❄️🏰
