ABOUT THE HOTEL
- Official Rating
- Free Wi-Fi
From tobogganing and husky-sledging to snowmobiling and skiing, the Hotel Snowflake & Apartments give you easy access to Lapland’s winter sports.
This place puts you within walking distance of the action. Stroll for a few minutes past the frost-covered trees on the hotel’s frozen forecourt, and you’ll reach a toboggan hill.
Accommodation here comes in two forms – rooms and apartments. Both are dressed in warm colour schemes of copper and brown. Plus, apartments have the added luxury of a sauna and kitchen area.
This hotel comes with a SnowClub, where children can get involved with entertainment and activities. You can join the SnowClub entertainment team and our mascot Captain T for indoor and outdoor activities. Like snowdog-building and tobogganing, snowgolf and marshmallow toasting. There's lots of entertainment, too, like pantomimes and festive-themed parties.
