Lapland Hotels Sky Ounasvaara  

Perched on top of Ounasvaara Fell next to the Ounasvaara Winter Sports Centre, this ski hotel sits above Rovaniemi with sweeping views over the city and the Kemijoki river valley. You’re about 3 km from Rovaniemi centre and roughly a 15-minute drive from the airport. Ideal for Northern Lights chases or Midnight Sun watching from the roof terrace.

A fully renewed classic that blends Lapland materials with big, floor-to-ceiling windows framing snow‑burdened trees and rugged fell. Rooms feature memory-foam beds and premium bedding; many have private in-room saunas. There are also wooden cottages beside the hotel, a cosy lobby with fireplace, a souvenir shop with sauna-spa products, and direct access to walking trails and biking paths.

Standout perks include ski-in/ski-out access, ski storage and rental options, public saunas plus private in-room saunas, a roof terrace with river and city views, two bars/lounges, a lobby café, and playrooms for kids—so it’s both pet-friendly and family-friendly. Free on-site parking and a 24-hour front desk make arrivals easy; airport shuttle is available for a surcharge.

Complimentary Wi‑Fi across the property, in-room desks and safes, luggage storage and multilingual 24-hour reception. Convenient for working breaks between outdoor activities.

Sky Kitchen & View is the hotel’s fine-dining, award-recognised restaurant serving pure Lappish delicacies from an à la carte menu with panoramic views. A cosy lobby café and café-bar with a fireplace serve snacks and coffee, and two bars/lounges keep evenings lively. Complimentary buffet breakfast is offered on weekdays and weekends (weekdays 7:00–10:00, weekends 8:00–11:00).
