Icehotel
ICEHOTEL, Jukkasjärvi
The world's first ice hotel, rebuilt every winter from ice harvested from the Torne River. Ice-sculpted suites and an ice bar are signature Lapland experiences.
The Icehotel is located in the village of Jukkasjärvi, about 17 km east of Kiruna. Since 1989, artists from around the world have designed and built it anew each year from the ice and snow of the Torne River. The winter ice rooms have a different theme every year. Icehotel 365, open all year and cooled by solar power, offers ice suites and an ice bar. Non-guests can buy tickets to visit during the day. Guests can stay one night in an ice room (around -5°C, with sleeping bags) and one night in a heated room. It is often combined with reindeer and husky sledding and Northern Lights tours on the Torne River.
