    ABOUT THE HOTEL

    • Official Rating
    • Free Wi-Fi

    The name says it all at the Snowy Wilderness Lodge. The property is surrounded by a winter wonderland of forest and fields.

    The Snowy Wilderness Lodge is tucked away in the heart of the Pallas-Yllästunturi National Park, surrounded by mile after mile of pine forests and hills.

    Log fires set the scene, so the hotel is warm and cosy inside. The rooms, meanwhile, are basic with modern décor and come with great views over the snowy countryside.

    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.

    Holidays here come with our Hotel rep and 24/7 Online service. This means that an English-speaking TUI rep will visit your hotel during your stay, and info and support are available 24/7 via the TUI app.

    You'll find the details of your itinerary below - just remember that all itineraries are subject to minor changes. You can find your final itinerary on the TUI Lapland app two days before you're due to go - just search for TUI Lapland in the App Store or Google Play to download it. If you'd like to book additional experiences, we'd recommend booking these with us - it's just so we can make sure they fit around the included activities such as your meeting with Santa, taster sessions and festive finale.

    Your Itinerary

    • ARRIVE IN KITTILA

      Once you’ve touched down in Kittila, Santa’s elves will be hand to take you to your hotel in Pallas. There’s a stop en route to pick up your thermal clothing, then once you’ve reached your hotel there’s some free time to get a feel for your surroundings. You can grab a toboggan and make a bee-line for the snow, or take a walk through the snow-topped countryside.

    • TASTER SESSIONS

      It’s all about Lappish culture today, with a short husky ride through the snow. Or, you can opt for a snowmobiling session instead. Then you’ll get to see a traditional Arctic Circle crossing ceremony, followed by some free time in the afternoon – you can book an extra TUI experience if you’d like, just make sure you book it before you go so you don’t risk missing out.

    • FESTIVE FINALE/FREE TIME

      It’s all about festive fun today for those staying for three nights, as you’ll try your hand at decorating cookies and making Christmas ornaments. Or you can zoom through the snow on a toboggan ride – just remember you’ll need to hand your thermal clothing back in today. Later, you’ll tuck into a Christmas dinner with all the trimmings and have the chance to meet Santa at your festive finale. Or, if you’re on a four-night stay, you’ll have the entire day at leisure, which means there’s plenty of time to pencil in any extra experiences – head to tui.co.uk/things-to-do and search for Pallas to see your options.

    • FLY HOME/FESTIVE FINALE

      For those staying for three nights, it’s time to head back to the airport today, ready for your flight home. Or, if you’re staying for four nights, it’s your turn for festive fun – you’ll be crafting Christmas ornaments, decorating cookies and later heading out for a toboggan ride. It’s time to hand your thermal clothing back in today and get ready for your festive finale, where you’ll be meeting up with Santa.

    • FLY HOME

      For those on a four-night trip, it’s time to head back to the airport, ready for your flight home.

    Pallas we love you! Twice you have shown us the northern lights!!!

    Second visit to this hotel!!! Yes its dated and the sleeping arrangements are questionable. However the place is magical, I have never felt so Christmassy relaxed and welcomed. The staff are so genuine and friendly. The food isn't the best, However you wont go hungry, There is always something to feed on. There isn't many all-inclusive hotels so this is very good value for money. The environment is great everyone had the best time, No complaints. My son is 17 and still had the best time sledging. We were also fortunate enough to see the northern lights for a second time at this hotel. I would defiantly recommend, And hope to return to Pallas again. Dont be pushed into booking excursions by the TUI reps, The tasters will give you the taste of the Lappish culture. In total we spend 9 euros spending money, And had the best time.
    Wonder Full

    My husband and I travelled here on Boxing Day with our 9 year old son for a Tui Santa trip. It has been one of the most magical times of our lives. Well organised by omnipresent Tui Reps, you arrive in the wilderness of a snow drenched National Park via a circuit of tree-lined roads where Reindeer can be spotted amongst the trees and yours are the first tyre tracks of the day. You’re greeted by elves at the airport, cheekily throwing snowballs, who accompany you throughout on the extra trips and offer a host of activities for kids and grown ups from snow shoeing and husky sleighs to camp fire songs and 24 hour sledging. The elves are magnificent, multi-lingual, informative, ever perky and full of wonder. We stayed 3 nights - Enjoying a reindeer ride on a frozen lake (slow but extraordinary), a trip to the Snow Village (jaw dropping carving) and an extra Huskey Ride through a moonlit forest (just wow). We met Mrs Claus who sat with us quietly and gently, listening to our son with such beautiful attention. We met her husband as part of the Festive Finale on the final night - appearing as he does in the snow and then meeting families one by one with equal measure of quiet mystery. Faintly but still there, we saw the Northern Lights in a star pricked sky on our final night. The hotel itself is a fell hotel, built for skiing and walking sometime after the war. The staff are gentle and kind. The rooms are more akin to youth hostels - basic but functional and perfect for getting in and out of layers of snowy garb. They are warm and you can’t open a window - so be sure to pack some lighter things to sleep in. It is so relaxed and easy. The food is fine - Finnish, buffet style. And there’s always snacks and sweets around - little cakes and drinks. If I came again I’d have packed my slippers to pad around the hotel in. All this with the backdrop of the national park in all its winter beauty. I could have stayed in its silence forever.
    Gourmet at Finnish Fells with Sustainability

    Ski resorts tend towards party, bars and booze although many visitors come to Lapland for the nature, the amazing fells, the quiet and the awe. Although there ought to be, at present, there are no organic, green sustainability respecting resorts, yet Pallas Hotel comes close to it. With its exquisite gourmet food, refusal to refurbish everything with plastic and new paint, its ice swimming pond, incredible views, history and tradition, it is the only Finnish hotel that qualifies as a Nordic equivalent to an alpine resort. The dozen fell tops at your fingertips, the wooden interiors, the laid back homely ambiance, the wild fauna and flora, the quiet, the views, the library rooms, the kitchen, the kitchen and the kitchen, and the chef... It is a gem for nature and hiking lovers.
    Just one word - Magical

    Omg this was my trip of a lifetime. Something I’ve dreamed of since a small child and dream come true at 46yrs old! There was just me and my husband with another couple and no children but that didn’t deter us. The hotel is in the middle of a national park and is so unspoilt in its surroundings. Yes the hotel is a bit dated but it added to the experience. Food was a bit bland but nothing bad about it as it was edible. Drinks were a bit sparse and staff were busy all the time so the bar got a bit packed at times. Only downside was I expected a nice big fireplace but it’s tiny and they only put two small logs on it at a time. Hey ho, we are in LAPLAND. The whole experience just was amazing. Can’t fault the hotel staff and elves. All very pleasant and someone always about. Definitely a trip of a lifetime and would definitely return again. Maybe take the grandkids one day!! Dog sledding and snowmobiles were the best. Miss out on the reindeer ride as that was way overpriced and a big disappointment unfortunately.
    Amazing atmosphere, nature and food. Hotel is unfortunately dated and in poor condition.

    Pallas-Yllästunturi National Park is amazing and the nature is very unique. Visitors can go cross country skiing, snowboarding, free skiing, snowshoeing etc. The food in the restaurant is very good and traditional for Lapland. Pallaksen Pöllöt which is a local skiing school teachers fellowship arranges all kinds of activities during your stay. These experiences are one of a kind. The hotel is very dated. I’ve visited there for nearly 30 years now and no changes or renovations have been done. It would be shame not to renovate the hotel because the location is so unique. The truth is that the price is way too high for that level. The history of Pallas should be valued and respected, now the management is only ruining it and letting the hotel grow moldy.
