The Snow Elf Hotel & Apartments

The cabin has one bedroom and a combined living room and kitchen. It is spacious for three persons. It is very clean. The kitchen has all the things needed for cooking, a waterboiler and a cofee maker. It also has own sauna. Apart from the two single beds, the sofa bed was large enough for two persons. The breakfast had many variety of food incl. e.g., newly baked bread, smoked salmon. Staff were friendly and helpful. There could be blackout curtains because the night is very bright in the summer.

What an amazing place to go, we have been lucky enough to stay at this hotel twice and the Princess (sister hotel) once. This is not only an amazing experience for kids but also for adults. Check in is so easy, on our first trip to this resort in 2021 as it was cancelled in 2020 due to Covid. We found looking for our log cabin a bit tricky (about 35 minutes lol) not ideal when pulling cases in the snow. But once you find your bearings its easy to get around. We returned in Dec 2022 again for the Christmas period but had the benefit of knowing where everything was. Log cabin, WOW. Sauna, amenities were amazing, sledges there is plenty to go around! Took a bit time to get used to the fire and getting it going once mastered its amazing. You don't get much time to chill as you want to do so much in the 4 nights we was there but late nights early starts for 4 or so days is doable! Food is a little repetitive, but near the lake there is a nice pub we went to a couple of times to break it up and the portions were huge! Lapin Kulta beer is awesome! There is a supermarket about 10-15 minute walk to buy some groceries and soft drinks and be rude not to purchase some cans of Lapin K!!! We booked through TUI and did Huskies twice in 2019, 2021, the first was during the day which was out of this world, but when we did it again in 2021 it was at night and we didn't enjoy it, i was driving the sleigh and was stressful as you couldn't see much in front and when you did notice the others in front had stopped i nearly squashed the dogs a few times so couldn't let the brakes off to much so came away not enjoying the experience which was also quite expensive. You also go off to Santa Village which is out of this world! You go on a sledge pulled by a snowmobile and plenty of warm berry juice and cookies! You get a taster on the huskies as well! And the Ice bar is a must!! They do shots of vodka say in a ice shot glass ;o) With the location of the hotel you are not far from the Supermarket but behind there is a frozen lake which is the ideal place to go to see the Northern Lights if there out to play! You see them with the naked eye but sometimes even better with a camera or phone but remember to change settings to night vision! This hotel is a must, however the hotel where you go to have meals used to have a kids area with some gaming machines but 2022 they were removed and more seating so my son was a little bored whilst we wanted to sit on front of the open fire having a hot drink. We will definitely return but would like to go for a week rather than 3-4 days. We never used the pool even when we had our kit just no time. And the Y1 ski slope is worth a visit and do a lesson and enjoy the slopes! Or you can rock up with a sledge and go in a certain area and no payment is required.
