The Arctic
attracted a lot of visitors in summer for many years. They wanted to see the land of the midnight sun. However,
in winter few inhabitants had the snow and ice to themselves. By the end of the
1980s it was decided that the dark and cold winter should be seen as an
advantage. In the winter of 1990 the French artist Jannot
Derit was invited to have the opening of an
exhibition in a specially built igloo (a building made of snow) in the little
town of Jukkasjärvi on the frozen Torne River. The
building, named Arctic Hall, attracted many interested visitors to the area.
One night a group of foreign guests decided it would be a good idea to sleep in
the Arctic Hall. The following morning the brave group were very pleased with
their experience and the idea of an ice hotel was born. Today it is world
famous.
As soon as
winter begins, a team of snow builders, architects and artists from all over
the world come to Jukkasjärvi and they make the hotel
for that year. As one part is completed, it opens to visitors and overnight
guests, while the other parts are still being built. The first part is
completed in December and each week after that a new part opens, until January
7th when the hotel is completed. As the ICEHOTEL is built under the open sky,
using the natural materials of the winter season, the finishing date depends on
nature and therefore there are sometimes changes to the plan. In the spring, as
the weather gets warmer, the hotel melts.
Inside the
hotel, the temperature is never colder than –5 °C to –8 °C, however cold it may
be outside. Winter outer clothes such as warm overalls, hats and gloves are
included in the cost of guests’ stay at the hotel. In addition to this, it is a
good idea for guests to bring sweaters and a scarf as well as plenty of woollen socks and to choose footwear that is larger than
normal to allow space for thick socks.
If you are
planning to come to the hotel, you can buy warm sweaters, woollen
socks and much more on the ICEHOTEL website. You can order these and the
equipment you will need at the same time as you book your visit. The items will
be delivered to your room when you check in.
The hotel
is in the village of Jukkasjärvi, 200 km above the
Arctic Circle but only 15 km from Kiruna airport and 17 km from Kiruna train
station. Transport by bus can be arranged from the airport or train station to
the IceHotel.
