Icehotel (Jukkasjärvi)

ICEHOTEL in Jukkasjärvi is both a world-unique hotel and an art exhibition crafted from snow and ice, inspired by the Torne River. The first small gallery showcased art made from the river's frozen waters, and since then ICEHOTEL has been reborn in a new form each winter, melting back into the river as the spring sun warms. Over 30 years since it began, guests can now enjoy the experience all year round at ICEHOTEL 365, cooled by solar power and maintained at a steady minus-five-degree temperature. The hotel draws visitors from around the world and offers activities from ice art and wilderness adventures to culinary experiences, designed in harmony with the Arctic environment.

The year was 1989 and the snow lay heavy over Jukkasjärvi. Right by the frozen Torne River, the founder of ICEHOTEL, Yngve Bergqvist, established the venture. Inspired by the Torne River, the first small gallery showcased art made from the river's frozen waters. Since then, ICEHOTEL has been reborn in a new form each winter - a magical and fleeting creation that melts back into the river as the spring sun warms. Now, over 30 years since it began, it is possible to enjoy this magical experience all year round through ICEHOTEL 365, cooled by solar power and maintaining a steady minus-five-degree temperature. Since the 1990s, through a vast network of artists and designers, ICEHOTEL has crafted unique ice experiences for international brands like Volvo, Chanel, and Nobel.
