Your trip starts by meeting your guide and taking the journey through the mountains and into the forests of magical Swedish Lapland. On arrival at the ICEHOTEL you will receive your entrance ticket and be able to explore the worlds first hotel made completely from ice!

Marvel at the amazing individually sculpted Art Suites, Ice Rooms and Ice Church whilst learning about how this one-of-a-kind hotel is designed and created each year. Finally head to the Ice Bar to enjoy one of the coolest drinks you will probably ever have!

Following the tour you will have the chance to have lunch in the comfortable restaurant, take a coffee in the stylish bar or buy some souvenirs from your experience at this truly amazing hotel, before going back to Abisko and Björkliden.

Good to know

  • Lunch is not included but can be purchased in the Icehotel restaurant for an additional cost.
  • It is important that you wear warm clothes, hats and gloves as well
    as warm insulated winter boots for your feet. The temperature inside the
    Icehotel is always -5 C. Available to rent boots & overalls.
  • The winter hotel is constructed during the early winter and thus is
    not finished until mid-December. Before this time you will still have
    access to the amazing ICEHOTEL 365 which allows guests to step inside a
    sparkling, subfreezing environment all year round thanks to new
    technology in combination with traditional building methods. Included
    within the ICEHOTEL 365 building is the Ice Bar which means you will
    have the chance to visit it in the early winter as well.

About Activities

Good to know

Each activity has a level of difficulty described below. We always adapt the pace to the group to ensure everyone has a great experience.

Relaxing: this is not exhausting at all, on the contrary!

Slow pace: Can be compared to a light walk. As a participant, you can often adapt the effort to your own level.

Moderate: This level of exertion requires a little more from you as a participant. At this level, it is more often a matter of endurance rather than great physical effort, but we recommend a normal level of fitness.

Demanding: This level often requires both willpower and higher physical fitness. We recommend that you talk to our knowledgeable staff in the sports shop if you are unsure.

Quite a challenge: This level requires a lot from you as a participant. You should be both strong and confident behind the brow bone - at this level we will always ensure your suitability before completing the activity.
