On the Northern coast of the Gulf of Bothnia the SnowCastle of Kemi is a magnificent example of the great talent and skills of local architects and their builders. Inside the towering walls of the SnowCastle both children and adults can find unforgettable experiences. The Artwork of ice and snow with lights and sound effects is a delight for the age and soul in this wintry scenery.

ICEHOTEL:  Mammut Snow Hotel with its arctic surroundings is a unique place. It is an excellent way to experience the coldness of an arctic night. Temparature in the hotel rooms is approximately -5ºC, but a guest will have a good night sleep in a warm Ajungilak sleeping bag. In Mammut Snow Hotel there are 15 double rooms, 2 group rooms for eight persons and a suite.
The University of Lapland from Rovaniemi decorates the hotel rooms in textiles characteristic to the Arctic cultures. The sleeping bags of Mammut Snow Hotel are delivered by Ajungilak from Norway. Their Tyin sleeping bags are designed for winter tours, extreme climate zones and expeditions. These sleeping bags do not only guarantee the survival of the snow hotel clients, but they quarantine an inappreciable amount of comfort and a large measure of cosiness.

RESTAURANT offers an unforgettable experience for its visitors. Tables are made of ice, seats are covered with reindeer fur and the restaurant is decorated with ice sculptures. There's also a terrace for those who like to sit in a bright spring sunshine.
In the cabinet there is space also for larger groups. You can reserve the cabinet for private occasions as well. The cabinet is divided into 2 parts. All together there are 50 seats in the restaurant and 70 seats in the cabinet. In the restaurant we serve hot and cold drinks, lunch and snacks, and we also serve á la carte.
