Staying at the ice hotel is a must for the modern adventurer - an experience utterly unlike other hotel stays. Inside, the temperature is never colder than -5 degrees to -8 degrees Celsius, regardless of how cold it may be outside. Unique rooms are decorated with ice art and sculptures. You sleep in a thermal sleeping bag on a special bed of snow and ice, on reindeer skins. Do not forget to visit the Ice Church, the Absolute Ice Bar, and the Ice Sauna!
