Dear Snowhotel Kirkenes and especially dear Event Coordinator Christin.
For a whole week in February 2023, we were lucky enough to be guests at Snowhotel Kirkenes. We have been guests before and were aware of part of the arrangement, and we were looking forward to once again experiencing some of the magic that is easy to create in you. Both because of the surroundings, fantastic locations, but not least because of the great people!
The standard was set from the 1st second when we stepped out of the bus from the airport with you and Christin just as well welcomed us with a big smile and a good hug! We all felt at home and welcome. La-Sa Båt og Motor had decided to show and not least let customers and employees experience this gem on the Norwegian map.
As an organizer, we had divided the week into three parts, where we had boat designers, major customers, partners and our main supplier Volvo Penta with the highest executives for the Nordic region. Wednesday to Friday had workshops and good customers, while Friday to Sunday we had our own employees. We had almost the same plan in each section, where we started the stay with a better lunch and had a conference for the rest of the first day, ending with a nice dinner and good drinks, served by nice staff.
Day two we went straight to Ulf and the rest of the gang on Barents Safari, where we rented scooters for everyone, and had the round via the crab pots, the School Building at the innermost part of Langfjordvatnet, before we passed the hill between Sagvatnet and Langfjordvatnet, where you can see across the border and the chimneys at the factory in Nikel, with lunch by the Pasvik river. A simple but delicious lunch served by Norway's coolest Scooter rider, and coffee brewer 😉
Then it was off into Namdalen to a super cozy cabin/place, where the king of king crab cooking, Michael, welcomed us together with the rest of the Snowhotel gang, who had decorated and set the table for us! Amazing experience, a couple of us were lucky enough to experience 3 times in a week... Just as cozy, and good every time!
As if it should have been ordered, we got on all 3 blocks of Northern Lights on the trip home from Namdalen over the ice. Couldn't get any better. Back at the Snowhotel resort, we were greeted by bonfires lit in our honor, and a party with music and good drinks, as well as being able to hold the "La-Sa Games", with our own elements, and a competition to make the best snow sculpture.
Before dinner, we were invited for a drink from glasses of ice, before we walked in. When dinner was later served, there was a great atmosphere and a tired group full of impressions. Then we were taken on a journey into the world of yoiken! Incredibly good and interesting with the stories and what joik really is. Day 3 was the day of departure for all three groups, with a cozy and late breakfast, before the trip home. In addition, we chose to take our employees on a dog sled trip on day 1 instead of some of the conference.
We had a fantastic experience! We experienced an insane hospitality and genuine interest in who we were. It is certainly fun for you who are part of Snowhotel Kirkenes to see the joy in the eyes of people who experience the place you are proud of. Maybe that's one of the things that drives you, I would think.
It was exciting to visit Andersgrotta, and get Norway the story of Kirkenes, hear several of the employees talk about what it is like to live so close to Russia in the special times we were/are in. with a more nuanced/balanced impression of the world. We got good contact with several of the employees, and all had a great time. We have received a lot of nice feedback from our guests, which we invited up to you. Thank you so much for us and for what you did for us! We all owe a big thank you for what we got and got to experience!
It is nice if everyone we dealt with gets feedback about this and that the thanks are passed on to everyone who had us as a group. We hope to get back to you in the future (But we need to save a little first... 😉 )
Many greetings from all of us in La-Sa Båt og Motor AS!

Lyd & Bilde
Despite the fact that the gang has traveled around the world before, we have rarely experienced such good, friendly, professional and knowledgeable service as we received from the Snowhotel Kirkenes team.
Tor Aavatsmark
Managing director
Lyd og Bilde
In the summer of 2023, Lyd & Bilde brought the entire Nordic staff to a three-day workshop/team building to scenic Kirkenes.
Despite the fact that the gang has traveled around the world before, we have rarely experienced such good, friendly, professional and knowledgeable service as we received from the Snowhotel Kirkenes team.
Even, Christin and Kåre lavished their extensive local knowledge, (humorous) communication skills and strove to satisfy the motley gang's smallest wishes. We had a wonderful nature experience, interesting history lesson and spectacularly good, locally rooted gourmet food.
Unforgettable – and highly recommended!
