Snowy Wilderness Lodge

Wow stunning scenery.. winter wonderland.. kids sledged and played, hotel in the Middle of nowhere and stunning views it felt so magical! Reps and elves were amazing and went above and beyond with the children ! Special thanks to Angel abi , penguin pip and jingle bells jake who my kids loved & cried when they left them to come home!

What can I say, we arrived into Kattila airport and once we got through and collected our bags, we were then met by elves who by the way are just amazing. You then go and get your snow gear and put it onto the coach. By the way as you exit the airport you are greeted by more snow than you have ever seen. The. On the way to your resort we were going past trees and trees with snow on all the way singing Christmas Songs, magical from the start. Then when we arrived we went straight to our room and got ready and straight to the snow. The elves and tui reps then took us sledging to the big slopes. The next day was the taster sessions with the husky’s and snow mobile, snow ball fights, hot berry juice and around the camp fire. Then back to the lodge for snow walking and snowman building. There so much more than everything I am writing as well. The food was good and plenty of it and unlimited drinks on some drinks, all soft drinks, beer and wine. The last day we went to the husky farm to ride the husky ourself, it was unreal but make sure you wrap up properly as it was extremely cold. The finale dinner was just unreal, Santa walks past the window your eating at and when I say Santa, this is the real deal. So much entertainment that night and then you see the big man before you eat which was an unbelievable experience. The tui team and the elves made the holiday what it was, they were incredible and put everything into it. The best bit about here is it’s in the middle of no we’re and nothing commercial, just magical. We will be going back, it was just outstanding

I’ve been waiting 46yrs to come to Lapland to meet the big fella and I can honestly say Lapland lived up to my expectations. The elves and Tui reps were very happy and welcoming. The hotel was clean and festive. The rooms are basic but clean and tidy and were topped up daily with clean essentials. Not sure why people are complaining. Yes it’s not 5* but for the amount of time you spend in the room, who cares! The only thing that was needed was an English TV channel that played Christmas music in my opinion lol. Food was buffet style and plentiful although limited option but enough for everyone i fee and I’m a fussy eater. Drinks package could’ve been a bit better with more of a selection of own branded spirits. Excursions were pricey but expected. Huskies were good fun as you get to ‘mush’. Snowmobile in the evening in the Arctic Circle was the best. Guides were amazing and it was so beautiful and again you get to drive and can swap. Sleigh ride however wasn’t so great and felt a little cheated. Aimed more for the kids I feel. We had a magical time overall. Would definitely recommend the Snowy Wilderness Lodge aka Hotel Pallas as lots to do on site with the very deep snow and even the big man lived up to our expectations.
