Breakfast of northern flavors

Lapland Hotels Sky Ounasvaara is located amid sweeping views of the horizon, offering winter landscapes of snow-covered trees, rugged cliffs, and the light of the midnight sun. The northern wilderness unfolds right at the hotel’s doorstep, with ski slopes, early-season cross-country trails, and biking paths bringing nature close. The hotel rooms combine the finest materials from Lapland with the presence of nature visible through large windows. In the lobby, the soft glow of a fireplace adds to the cozy atmosphere.

We are renovating the main entrance of the hotel and improving accessibility. The main entrance is expected to be in use until the end of October, but it may be occasionally closed due to construction work. In this case, access to the hotel will be through the entrance located on the left side of the building. Signs will help you find the right route. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the construction work.
