Itinerary
Day 1: Huskies and the Icehotel

Just outside the airport your transport awaits, a dogsled team which will take you for an exciting ride through the wide and over the plains towards the Icehotel. This gives you the perfect photo opportunity, while starting your short 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 on a bed made of ice, on top of reindeer skins.
