Day 1: Ice Hotel, Warm Accommodation
Fly via Stockholm and arrive into Kiruna, the nearest airport to the ICEHOTEL. Transfer to the ICEHOTEL by shared vehicle (approx. 15 minutes) where you will be given your thermal clothing and boots to keep throughout your stay.
You will have time this afternoon to explore the wonderful ice creations by the ice artists from all over the world. The hotel is open as a visitors attraction until late afternoon so there is plenty of time to see as many different rooms as possible, as well as the chapel. You may also want to venture down into the small village of Jukkasjärvi to explore the outdoor Sami museum and local church.
For dinner, you have the choice of two restaurants; the Ice hotel Restaurant or the Homestead which is a short walk into the village and more casual. We will make table reservations for you and you can settle your bill upon check out.
Later you will no doubt wish to enjoy a drink in the Ice Bar and maybe you will see the Northern Lights in the sky on your way back to your room.
Tonight will be your first of two nights ‘warm’ accommodation, on site. These take the form of standard hotel rooms, or chalets and we can discuss the options with you. Some are 2-bedroom units which are great for families or friends.
Day 2: Ice Hotel, Warm Accommodation
After waking up, enjoy a complimentary sauna before heading over the road to the Ice Hotel restaurant for breakfast. Today you can choose to take part in a range of optional activities at the ICEHOTEL. We advise that you pre-book these to guarantee your places. Our top recommendations would be the Trap Line Husky Dog Sled trip and Northern Lights by shared snowmobile.
Overnight in warm accommodation.
Day 3: Ice Hotel, Ice Room
Today you have a whole day to enjoy a range of activities at the Ice Hotel such as a Moose Safari, Ice Sculpting, Snowshoeing, Husky and/or Reindeer Safari. You can also have a walk down to the village church and visit the outdoor Sam Museum.
Tonight will be the highlight of your trip, your chance to sleep on Ice in your special Ice Room, or why not upgrade to an Art Suite! You will be issued with your sleeping bag and guided on how to get a good night sleep. We will also provide a guide and tips on what to pack and how to make the most of your experience before you travel.
