    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.

    Your Itinerary

    • Arrive in Saariselkä

      After landing at Ivalo Airport, you’ll be given thermal clothing and all the information needed for your Lapland experience. Then, it's off to your Saariselkä hotel. You can spend the rest of the day settling in and getting to know the town.

    • Free Day in Saariselkä

      You can try a taster session of snowmobiling and husky or reindeer sleigh rides today. Afterwards, your elf guide will show you around some of the nearby buildings. There’s plenty of free time, too, so you can book yourself on to an excursion and experience your favourite taster from earlier.

    • Santa's Creek

      It’s time to meet the big man in red. As you make your way down to Santa’s Creek through the woods, you’ll bump into reindeers and elves, before sitting down with Father Christmas himself. Come evening, you can tuck into a gala buffet accompanied by festive fireworks.

    • Last day in Saariselkä

      Those of you on 4-night trips will enjoy Day 3’s activities today. On Day 3, you’ll have free time to play in the snow, or book onto an excursion.

    very cute place with nice atmosphere
    30 Oct , 2019 Judy B, 30330
    After staying at some modern hotels, it was refreshing to step into this hotel. Yes, it may be older, but that is why I liked it. The breakfast was great and not overrun with so many guests, so you could actually get to the buffet items without a huge line. The hotel has a nice gift shop and a section where you can see a display of old skis. Our room had a balcony, fridge and lots of storage. And I would rate the wifi coverage an A++++.
    Old quality
    06 Aug , 2019 johncorki, 580249
    Really clean hotel. Perfect breakfast, high quality food and tasty af. Room was kinda old, but not dusty or anything like that. Cheap rooms. There is elevator if needed and several entries. I would go again.
    Good place to stay in Lapland
    19 Jul , 2019 Arto H, 189934
    This hotel has it all. In the middle of the most beautiful Lapland you really can feel the vicinity of nature at its best. And the hotel itself is modern, clean and with good service. For a foreigner coming outside from Finland the hotel is something special. There are cosy corners, fireplaces and good sauna facilities to any tastes. And the food is good and one can feel the freshness of anything there is.
    Simply Fine
    15 Jul , 2019 lobstaluva, 60968
    We were here for a couple of nights and have no complaints. The room was small, comfortable twin beds, some amenities like a coffee pot and fixings, fridge. There was a no frills, simple decor but we had all we needed. A nice balcony allowed us to relax and enjoy the neighboring woods. Breakfast was an excellent hot and cold buffet with lots of choices. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Would happily return.
    AC unit in the room
    30 Jun , 2019 JJ2295, 189932
    AC unit in the room is constantly in maximum mode making it impossible to sleep at all. No help from the reception, though they noted that people had complained about this also earlier and there was a fault in the system. Total lack of respect towards the customers to not have it fixed. Would not recommend this hotel to anyone and I will never book this hotel (chain) again.
