HOLIDAYS TO SWEDEN

THE ICE HOTEL
Weekday Ice Safari
4 days from £910 pp

Experience the extraordinary, unique and glistening Ice Hotel at Jukkasjarvi deep in the heart of Swedish Lapland. Enjoy traditional Sami cuisine; the Absolut Ice Bar; and snowmobile, reindeer and husky safaris for a thrilling holiday with a difference. Each December, using the skills of several different Scandinavian ice sculptors, the celebrated Ice Hotel is crafted from 30,000 tons of snow and ice. The entire structure melts away each spring. Each year’s design differs, the final detail being revealed only when the last ice block is in place and the last bedroom finished.

The hotel consists of Absolut Bar, art gallery, consecrated chapel, ‘hall of pillars’ and a choice of snow rooms, ice rooms or art suites all sculpted from ice. Guests sleep in special thermal Arctic sleeping bags on ice beds topped with reindeer skins.

The wider complex also includes a restaurant serving traditional Lappish food and “warm accommodation” of differing types. There are ‘Kaamos’ rooms with private wc/shower; 10 Nordic chalets with two bedrooms (one double and one with bunk beds) kitchenette and private shower/wc and 20 Northern Lights cabins. The latter have one double and one single bedroom, private wc/shower and skylights through which you can see the stars of the Arctic night.

All cabin types are of an identical standard with respect to furnishings and decor. Our ‘Ice Safari’ takes you up to the Ice Hotel in Swedish Lapland on early morning scheduled flights with SAS via Stockholm for a three night stay to which you can add your excursions on a ‘pick and mix’ basis
