SnowVillage by bus

Head out. Be here. Bring home the story.

THE EXPERIENCE

Your day in the north.

How much can you build from snow and ice? At SnowVillage, the answer is enough to make you stop, look again and wonder how they did it.

We’ll take the bus from Äkäslompolo and step into a world of ice sculptures, carved details and snowy spaces. Wander through at your own pace, look around the corners and take in the imagination behind the creations. It’s a very different way to experience a Lapland winter.

When it’s time to warm up, there’s a hearty soup lunch waiting in the warm restaurant. Then we’ll hop back on the bus, leaving the ice artwork behind and taking a few new favourite memories with us.
