Stay Cool Also During Summer At Icehotel
In Kiruna, situated 200 kilometres north of the Arctic Circle in Sweden, the northern lights sweeps its green brush across the sky already in August. The region has the Northern hemisphere’s best prerequisites for spotting northern lights and is also the first place where you can travel to look at this phenomenon before the snow spreads its blanket over the landscape.
This summer Icehotel will be 120 square meters and hold three art suites, an icebar and place for guests to try ice sculpting. Instead of including dog sledding, snowmobile tours and northern light safaris you can during summer go rafting, canoeing, hiking, hunting, fishing.
To get the most out of your stay, combine for example hotel chalet living with wilderness camp accommodation in the middle of Swedish Lapland. Pay a visit to the Aurora Sky Station, 900 meters above the sea; experience the Swedish Alps in Abisko as well as the Laplandish lowlands with the mighty Torne River. Along the way we’ll make sure that your meals will turn into gastronomic adventures. Learn about mythology and science surrounding the Aurora Borealis. The solar activity, which causes northern lights, reaches its peak this year so an impressive show can be expected over the next couple of years.
