Unique Ice Dining
Dining in the ice restaurant was a surreal experience. The flavors were good, especially the reindeer dishes, served in a beautifully crafted ice setting that added to the atmosphere. A must-try for anyone looking to taste the uniqueness of this hotel.

Extraordinary Ice Rooms
Spending the night in an ice room was truly lovely. The bed made of ice, covered with a soft reindeer hide, provided a surprisingly comfortable night’s sleep. The ambient lighting around the ice structure added to the magical feel of the experience.

Charming Ice Bar
The ice bar was an enchanting place to relax. Sipping cocktails served in ice glasses while surrounded by stunning ice sculptures created a nice atmosphere. It was the perfect way to wind down after a day of adventures.

Staying at this snowhotel was a completely unique experience that I will never forget. The warm area for showering and dining is a fantastic contrast to the chilly atmosphere of the igloo-style rooms, which are not for the faint of heart. While it can be a bit of a trek to use the bathroom, the warm sleeping bags provided made the cold night surprisingly enjoyable. The hotel offers great opportunities for winter adventures, but those who prefer standard hotels might need to think twice before booking.
