“This was a fantastic experience. Driver was friendly and very skilled on the icy roads. We were greeted by our guide who explained the plan for the evening then showed us around the hotel and how it was built. He showed us all the rooms, each incredibly unique with fantastic ice sculptures. We had a chance to have a shot in the Ice Bar and throw the ice glass against the wall.

“It was an incredible experience and we had a lot of fun. Our guide, Matthijs, took a lot of time for us and explained the flora and fauna of Lapland in great detail while we were hiking in the snow.. It was really interesting and informative and the Snowshoeing was a bit strenuous, but incredibly fun, especially in the deep snow. We would highly recommend this tour if you lucky enough to visit Levi in february.”

We went to the lake, where we followed a trail, went to the old saw mill island, enjoyed the fantastic snow covered trees and lavished the sun.vmarko told us about the history of the place, the ice castle (and what Covid did to the area), kemi as a city etc. In total we covered quite a distance, so it was a good workout. Tip, the better the group, the further you go...so ask in advance”
