Accomodation - Snow Village in Lainio

Location : Lainiotie, Kittilä, Finland

Lainio Snow Village is located nearly 200km above the Arctic Circle. It is easily reachable - only 25mins by car from Kittilä airport, 40 minutes from Levi and just 15 minutes from Ylläs.

"Each year in late November, about one thousand truck loads of snow are used to create the Snow Village - a complex of ice and snow, changing shape and size every winter ..."

SnowHotel offers 15 double igloo standard double rooms and 15 ice suites for the winter of 2009-2010. SnowHotel provides high quality thermal sleeping bags in each room. So you can slip into the warm and comfortable sleeping bag and rest your senses in the tranquil silence of the igloo. Due to everything made by crystalized water, the indoor temperature of Snow Village remains always between -2 and -5 Celsius degrees. Wow, cool !


Besides igloos, Snow village also provides Log cabins - Teepee cabins, JP1, Karkelo, Koppelo and Chalet Aurora.


You truly can enjoy traditional dining experience at Ice Bar. Snow village also offers a wide range of adventure, such as overnight safari to Snow village and Snowmobile safari to huskies.
