Lainio Snow Village with Ice Restaurant Dinner, Levi

Lainio Snow Village with Ice Restaurant Dinner, Levi — Dinner at -6°C, at a Table Carved from Ice

On arrival, guests are escorted directly to the ice restaurant — dinner is pre-booked at 17:00, fully paid, seating arranged by the restaurant — guests pay nothing on arrival; only additional drinks ordered on site are charged separately. Ice tables, ice chairs, walls of sculpted snow and carved ice, the temperature a steady -6°C. Dinner takes approximately 1–1.5 hours. After dinner, guests have 1–1.5 hours for the guided Snow Village tour and ice bar visit before the return journey to Levi.

Why This Is One of the Most Memorable Dining Experiences in Finnish Lapland

• Dinner at -6°C, at a table and chair carved from ice — inside a building that will not exist by spring

• A 3-course menu built around Lappish ingredients: reindeer, arctic fish, local berries

• A completely hand-built world of snow and ice — different theme every season

• Guided tour of the exhibition and warm berry juice in the ice bar after dinner

• Just 40 minutes from Levi centre

The Snow Village — A New Theme Every Year

Lainio Snow Village is constructed entirely from snow and ice each November. The theme changes every year. Past seasons have included Game of Thrones, Nordic Mythology, Underworld, and the Underwater World in 2024–2025. For 2025–2026 — the Snow Village’s 25th anniversary — the theme is Pure Celebration: a carnival, a Rio de Janeiro area and an ice bar dressed in the colours of Ireland.

The 2026–2027 theme will be confirmed later.
