Visit of SnowHotel & Wilderness Sauna (Private) FROM ROVANIEMI

If you’re looking for a truly unique and memorable experience during your stay in Lapland, a visit to the Snow Hotel is a must!

Located just 30 km from the center of Rovaniemi, this hotel, entirely built from snow and ice, is one of the largest snow structures in the Nordic countries!
Inside you may find many hotel rooms (yes, you may stay overnight!), an ice chapel, an ice bar, an ice restaurant… Each room is designed in a unique thematic and adorned with beautiful ice sculptures.
Accompanied by our guide, you’ll discover the magic of this place where each room tells a story of Finnish culture. Our professional and passionate guide will show you around and tell you lots of stories about the settings you’ll be discovering.

The visit lasts approximately 45 minutes to an hour.

TIME TO RELAX IN OUR WILDERNESS SAUNA

After this cultural experience, your guide will take you into deep forests to a wilderness cabin with a log sauna. The traditional cabin has no electricity or running water ; the small lake and nature around is providing everything it needs! The place is beautiful and extremely peaceful – perfect for a relaxing moment! It naturally inspires a feeling of disconnection from reality, being lost in the middle of nowhere. 

Your guide will lit the wood-burner in the sauna and give you more instructions how to use it in the very Finnish way. There is also a pontoon that leads directly to the lake : if you are brave enough to go in the water and if the ice conditions allow it, we may open a hole in the ice (avanto)! It is very healthy to alternate hot sauna with cold water (or at least cold air).

Sauna towels, soaps, birch tar oil and other equipment needed will be provided by your guide (please bring your swimsuit if you need to ; or sauna can also be naked like Finns usually do…). The experience is always private and the guide will give you all privacy needed. He / she will prepare a local snack while you enjoy the traditional sauna.
