Join a guided tour around this quirky hotel made of snow and ice
Enjoy an ice-cold crowberry shot in Norway’s largest ice bar
Admire the amazing ice-carved sculptures and interior décor
See reindeer that graze on the grounds and the 180 Alaskan huskies
Our visit to the coolest hotel in Norway begins with a stroll up to the hotel and into Norway’s largest ice bar, where we’ll be greeted and treated to an ice-cold crowberry shot.
The host or hostess will then show us around the hotel. The magnificent Snow Suites are made entirely of snow and ice, featuring furniture, sculptures, and wall carvings crafted by artists from around the world. Each room is a one-off gem, bearing a different theme.
We’ll then have the chance to meet the reindeer that roam the park as well as meet furry friends at the Dogyard, home to 180 Alaskan huskies and their pups.
Before we leave, relax by the glowing fire in the hotel’s restaurant and relish a light bite of local food.
To cap off the trip and if time allows, we make a stop at Prestfjellet Mountain which offers a magnificent panorama of the town of Kirkenes and the surrounding area.
