Sorrisniva Igloo Hotel entrance ticket
By Sorrisniva

Come visit our beautiful ice hotel and experience a unique masterpiece that is built year after year exclusively from snow and ice. Our ice hotel consists of countless ice rooms, including a few select themed suites, a large gallery featuring stunning snow and ice art, an ice chapel, an ice bar, and a small playroom with an ice slide.
The ice hotel has a unique theme every year, and we’ve had themes such as: Africa, Vikings, Arctic animals, and fairy tales.
You’ll experience a special atmosphere inside the ice hotel, as the snow dampens sound and keeps the temperature stable at around -6 °C. After exploring on your own, you can visit the ice bar (separate opening hours) and buy our blue ice drink, which is served in an ice glass.
