Snow village and Ice exhibition
Welcome to Lapland Hotels SnowVillage – a magical world built of snow and ice in Lainio, Kittilä! This snow castle, rebuilt annually, offers an unforgettable experience for families, couples and adventurous travelers alike.
Snow Castle Theme and Exhibitions
The snow and ice works are rebuilt from scratch every year, and the theme for the 2024–2025 winter season is the underwater world and its wonderful variety of species. SnowVillage has revealed that the exhibition will include at least turtles, seahorses and octopuses, but based on previous years’ experience, we can expect it to dazzle with much more.
This year, as part of the SnowVillage Ice Exhibition, there is also a party room made of snow and ice, where you can organize various events such as weddings or engagements. The space is decorated according to an underwater theme and you can hear whale singing. The space is named “Valhaan laulu” in local ”Meänkieli” dialect.
Over 20 million kilograms of snow and about 300,000 kilograms of crystal-clear natural ice are used in the construction work every year, as well as countless hours of work.
