ABOUT THE HOTEL

Official Rating
Free Wi-Fi

Nestled in pine woods close to Yllas centre, the Hotel Snow Princess offers up great views in a picturesque location.

This place looks out over a pine-cloaked fell, so wintery views are a permanent fixture. It’s in a handy location, too, with slopes nearby, and ski tracks leading from the doorstep to Äkäslompolo village, 5 minutes away.

The hotel mixes modern and traditional décor. Outside, glass and wood dominate, while inside, everything centres round a flagstoned lobby bar. Rooms are simple, and they all come with their own sauna.

This hotel comes with a SnowClub, where families can get involved with entertainment and activities. You can join the SnowClub entertainment team for indoor and outdoor activities like snowman-building, tobogganing and Christmas crafts. There's plenty of entertainment, too, including live shows, festive parties and a Christmas-themed silent disco.

You'll find the details of your itinerary below - just remember that all itineraries are subject to change. 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

You’ll get a traditional cooked English breakfast on your flight to Lapland. After landing at Kittila airport, you’ll pick up your thermal clothing before you take the transfer to your hotel in Yllas. Once you’ve arrived, the rest of the day’s yours to suss out your snowy surroundings.
SNOW VILLAGE AND SANTA

There’s lots on the agenda today. First up, you’ll get a big dose of Lappish culture at the snow village. This is the place where you’ll have your husky-sleigh ride taster session before decorating cookies and making Christmas ornaments. Next, you’ll zoom through the snow on a toboggan ride as you make your way to the big event – your meeting with Santa.
FREE TIME/FESTIVE FINALE

Today’s free for you to explore at your own leisure, or book in an extra TUI experience – just make sure you book before you go so you don’t risk missing out. If you’re staying for three nights, you’ll hand your thermal clothing back today before you head to your festive finale this evening, where you’ll tuck into a Christmas dinner with all the trimmings. Meanwhile, those staying for four nights will have a free evening.
FLY HOME/FESTIVE FINALE

Whether you stayed for three or four nights, you’ll get a festive Christmas dinner on your flight back home. For those on a three-night trip, it’s time to head back to the airport ready for your flight home today. Or, if you’ve still got another night left, you’ll have another free day to fit in anything you missed the day before. Search for Yllass for all the options. Later, you’ll hand in your thermal clothing before heading to your festive finale, which will feature a Christmas dinner with all the trimmings.

Visited here for a skiweekend with my kid, basicly everything worked - but property is getting too worn-out for these prices… Explanation is always ”Lappi-style”, but it is really not that you get in real-life. Breakfast was excellent and ”breakfastboat” definitely a precious piece of restaurant art. Btw, first skiingcentre for a decade where you must pay for a skibus with a Ticket (not hotel’s fault!). But okay, sauna was warm and we got beds to sleep

What a place

06 Jan , 2025 lenny80, 186299

We did a four day trip to lapland and stayed at this hotel. Had a fantastic time. Hotel staff were brilliant and friendly with the kids. Not far from the shopping centre and frozen lake. (10/15mins) Only slight issue we did have was the shower, we didn't have any hot water on the last two days. We didn't say anything either so it might have been a small problem that the hotel would have sorted or it might have been the time we were trying to use it. Food was nice. Breakfast maybe a bit samey but at the same time there was plenty to choice from. Everyone found something to eat.

Once in a lifetime holiday!

We got back from staying at the Snow Princess on boxing day. The hotel was lovely, warm and welcoming. The food was brilliant quality and the staff were friendly. The sledges were a great touch for the kids. Only 10 minutes walk from the frozen lake. We absolutely loved it!

Fantastic holiday

Just got back from our fantastic holiday in lapland. Second time we stayed at this snow princess hotel and cannot fault it. Last year we came here for 3 days and this year for 4 days. Lovely hotel and very friendly staff. Hotel was very clean and warm and food was lovely. A very good choice of food to meet everyone's needs ( even children ). We definitely will be back again.

Snow princess is great

Just got back from a 3 night Tui package at the Snow Princess aka Yllaskaltio. Very friendly staff and reps, room great for us a family of three. Duplex set up means adults can stay up once kids in bed but still hear them easily. Food was great. Choice was limited to one or two options each lunch/dinner but quality was always top notch. Sledges available for free outside hotel so lots of fun for kids. Top tip, put your kid in the sledge and pull them along to the frozen lake (15 min walk behind a supermarket, mini shopping center and pub). Tui side of things very well organised and Santa village was great. Great memories made, can’t recommend enough.
