Flight
Short Break
Every December for the past 20 years, in the far north of Sweden, an entire hotel is constructed from blocks of snow and ice, weighing up to two tonnes. Located inside the Arctic Circle, in the tiny village of Jukkasjarvi in Swedish Lapland, this unique property offers both modern and comfortable ‘warm’ rooms or ‘cold’ rooms constructed entirely from blocks of ice and snow.
It is possible to stay in ‘cold’ rooms all year, with ‘Icehotel 365’ which uses solar power to create an artificially refrigerated permanent Ice hotel. The nearest airport is a 1½ hour flight from Stockholm and a shuttle then transports guests to the hotel in 15 minutes or, if you prefer, you can choose to travel the short journey by snowmobile or dogsled instead. We would suggest a stay of one night in a ‘cold’ room, where you are provided with thermal sleeping bags and hot lingonberry juice in the morning, followed by a couple of nights in the ‘warm’ rooms. The Icehotel is a unique experience and is a great addition to a short break in Stockholm. The hotel is also an ideal base for some of the Arctic’s best experiences, from witnessing the phenomenon of the Northern Lights to driving snowmobiles in search of moose and reindeer in the forests.
