from the cold on your first arctic adventure. Just outside the airport your
transport awaits, a dogsled team which will take you for an exciting ride
through the wild and over the plains towards the Icehotel. This gives you the
perfect photo opportunity, while starting your break in true Lappish style. The
Icehotel is made entirely out of snow and ice blocks taken from the Torne
River. Every year the hotel melts during the summer and is rebuilt when winter
sets in. Upon arrival you will be taken on an informative tour where you will
learn about the history of this special place and get handy information on how
to get comfortable in your very own room sculpted out of ice. You will be
sleeping in a Ice Room on a bed made of ice, on top of reindeer skins. The
