Hotel Pallas is a wilderness hotel located in the Pallastunturi Ski Center in Muonio, Finland. The hotel was designed by architect Jouko Ylihannu and was opened in 1948.
The former functionalist style hotel designed by architects Väinö Vähäkallio and Aulis E. Hämäläinen, completed in 1938 and blown up by the Germans in October 1944 when they left Lapland during the Lapland War, was located about a kilometer from the site of the current hotel.

A mountain resort is a place to holiday or vacation located in an elevated and typically at least relatively isolated area. The term resort implies integral hotel or inn accommodations, restaurants, and either or both sports facilities or scenic attractions like birdwatching. These can be part of a "destination resort" that provides accommodations and activities or a "resort town" that offers amenities near outdoor areas.
They include winter sports like skiing, snowboarding, and ice skating and summer activities such as hiking, golf, and tennis. Sightseeing and related activities, such as leaf peeping to appreciate fall colors, are also common where foliage turns.
