The Arctic SnowHotel is one of the biggest snow hotels in the world – located in Lehtojärvi, Rovaniemi, on the Arctic Circle in Finnish Lapland.

The temperature in the rooms is 0 to -5 °C. During the visit, you’ll have the chance to marvel at the breathtaking snow and ice structures, exquisite ice sculptures, and beautifully crafted rooms, the Ice Bar, the Ice Restaurant, and the snow sauna, which is reportedly the only one of its kind in the world.
