With exciting daytime activities and expertly guided Northern Lights excursions, this iconic location is the ideal base for both unparalleled Arctic adventures and maximising your opportunities to witness the Aurora. Though there are now many hotels made of snow and ice, there is only one original. During this holiday, the world-famous ICEHOTEL ® is your base as you go searching for the Northern Lights. After admiring the impressive ice sculptures, winter suites and ice chapel, you'll get to experience both the cosy hotel 'warm' rooms as well as the incredible opportunity to stay in an ice room. Don't worry, the Arctic-grade sleeping bag means you will be surprisingly warm through the night. The wonders continue outside too, with an array of amazing Arctic experiences on offer. Your time has been left completely free so that you can decide which activities suit you best. Perhaps you want to snowmobile over the frozen landscape or instead, take a tranquil horse ride into moose-grazing territory.
