Sitting at the top of Ounasvaara fell surrounded by forest and with cross-country / hiking trails and down-hill ski lifts at the door, Sky Hotel remains within easy reach of central Rovaniemi, only 10 minutes drive.
While ideal for all visitors we particularly recommend the hotel for families during the winter as children enjoy the easy access to the snow and toboggan slopes. All 69 rooms within the hotel have private facilities, TV, minibar and hair dryer.
The hotel has a popular restaurant offering panoramic views although those in search of nightlife must head into the town centre.
