Lapland Excursion Snowshoeing

There are so many fun things to do whilst on holiday in Lapland, whether you are staying as a group of friends or as a family with children of all ages. From giving show-shoeing a try so you can view the wilderness around you or perhaps a race around the course in an ice-karting competition. There is no doubt you will have a full and exhilarating week. 

Our excursions are added extras you can book as part of your Lapland holiday.

Lapland Excursion Icebar

What’s included in the Snow Village & Bar excursion: 

The clever lighting of the snow, ice-sculptures and wall-carvings, and the way the lights glow through the solid ice 'furniture' creates a mystical feel to the Lainio Snow Village & Bar.

Each winter it takes over 27,000 cubic metres of snow, chunks of river-ice up to a metre thick and weighing up to 3 tonnes, and a team of 50 people working flat out for 350 hours, to create its impressive 4,500 square metres of this village. Beautiful carvings decorate the rooms, courtyards, ice bar, restaurant and Ice Chapel.

From Levi and Ylläs, a day visit includes a tour around the Snow Village & bar and a trip into the Ice Grotto where you can see ice sculptures and decorated snow suites on show.

From £70 per adult/ £55 per child

Step into the magical Lainio Snow Village, a true Arctic marvel made entirely out of snow and ice. Situated 200 km above the Arctic Circle, this extraordinary hotel is crafted each winter from over 400,000 kilos of ice and 45,000 cubic meters of snow. Every corner of the village is adorned with breathtaking carvings, from the beautifully designed rooms and courtyards to the mesmerising ice bar, restaurant, and Ice Chapel. With themes often inspired by Nordic mythology, the design changes every year, offering a unique experience for every visitor. 

Duration: 1.5 hours at Snow Village (includes guided tour)

  • Lainio Snow Village visits are available to pre-book from the 25th December 2025 onwards. 
  • If you have booked your visit before the official public opening, you will enjoy a more exclusive, behind-the-scenes experience, with the chance to see the artists at work. Please note that the completion of the Snow Village is dependent on weather conditions.

For the ultimate adventure you can even do a 65 kilometre snowmobile safari to the Snow Village. On this half day excursion you'll race through the forests and wetlands by snowmobile before arriving at the magnificent Snow Village, where you can admire the icy works of art and one of Europe's largest snow bars. Warm up with a soup lunch before heading back to Ylläs.  This snowmobile safari is a bit more demanding due to the length and the landscape, so it is especially recommended to people with some earlier experience or good physical condition

Duration: 5 hours 

  • Available from the 30th December. The completion of the Snow Village is dependent on weather conditions.
