The Snow Elf Hotel & Apartments details
“Three different accommodation types, plenty of space to play in the snow, and regular visits from Thomson the Husky Dog - the Snow Elf Hotel and Apartments are well geared up for family getaways.”
Bordered on all sides by snow-dusted woodland and miles of pine trees, the Snow Elf has a real fairytale setting. And it has certainly made the most of its surroundings – cross-country tracks cut through the hotel’s grounds and a small toboggan run provides hours of fun for little ones.
The place itself is a big, resort-style complex that’s really popular with families. Accommodation here comes in three forms – as well as the main hotel rooms, there are apartments and traditional log cabins tucked away on the edge of the grounds. The latter two come with special extras like saunas, fireplaces and kitchenettes, and are perfect if you want a bit more space.
As for what else you’ll find here, there’s an indoor pool and a sauna so you can relax after a day in the snow. You can book massages, too. What’s more, Thomson the Husky Dog will be on hand to play with children. They can listen to him tell Christmas tales during story time, have their photos taken with him, and dance with him at the kids’ disco.
At mealtimes, meanwhile, the buffet restaurant is the most popular choice. In the mornings, it serves up a huge spread featuring everything from eggs and sausages to Lappish bread and do-it-yourself waffles. For lunch and dinner, a mixture of meat, fish and salad are on offer. The bar here also does pizzas in the evenings, which you can enjoy by a roaring fire – some of the more unusual toppings include smoked reindeer and Lappish cheese.
