Lapland Hotels SnowVillage sets visitor record with new highlights

Underwater-themed ice world and stunning sculptures attract thousands of guests

Lapland Hotels SnowVillage in Lainio, Kittilä, has set a new visitor record in January 2025, welcoming 18,000 guests—the highest number ever recorded in a single month. The "Underwater World" theme, larger ice sculptures, and expanded facilities have played a key role in this growing popularity.

A unique underwater world of ice and snow

Each year, SnowVillage is redesigned, and in 2025, it takes visitors on a breathtaking journey beneath the sea. International artists have crafted an icy wonderland featuring marine creatures, deep-sea formations, and mystical underwater elements. This year, the ice sculptures are bigger and more intricate than ever before.

New attractions for an even more immersive experience

To accommodate the increasing number of visitors, SnowVillage has been expanded and upgraded with new features:

• New Glass Restaurant: A spectacular dining experience with panoramic views of the snowy landscape.
• Larger Ice Sculptures: More elaborate and detailed ice art, bringing the underwater theme to life.
• Extended Facilities: More space for guests to fully enjoy this unique Arctic experience.
