Lapland Hotels Ounasvaara Chalets

Lovely wooden chalets near a lake and ski slope, but no sledging at all allowed and we’re no skiers, so that ruined the holiday for our family. The buffet breakfast they put on is epic. You can make your own pancakes, there’s eggs & bacon, breads, cheeses, meats, cereals, really nice coffee and gluten free options too. Gorgeous dining room and we are in the “restaurant” a few times. It’s only a bar menu, so burger and chips or a toastie but the burgers were really nice. Beer is expensive, €9 odd for a pint!

Staying in the Superior Chalet and while it was at the back of the plot close to the road, there was very little traffic noise. The only noise came from the attached chalet so the claim of soundproofing is not accurate. Comfy beds, comfy living space, good location for walking and skiing. Good breakfast, lot's of choice, get's quite busy later on. Staff were really helpful and friendly. Highly recommend for couples or families.

this is a ski resort and accomodations are traditional wooden chalet style dotted around the resort. very clean with some modern facilities, we staued in junior suite and it was by the frozen river and was very roomy and clean with beautiful scenes just outside the rear doors. sauna was massive and had 3 showers! mind you the floors and walls might create some weird knocking noises all night if you get the heating setting up too high. breakfast was a plenty with lots of choices but staff had no smiles on face and did not talk much. during busy times they just kept taking away old plates etc but did not refill any empty food trays or breads, and when I asked if there were anymore hot milk for coffee was told just to use cold milk insted. ski resort was very good and family friendly. staff was great and booking ski rentals etc was a pleasant experiences. would recommend.
