Each year a unique new ICE HOTEL is created on the shore of the Torne river in Jukkasjärvi. In the little village far north of the Arctic Circle a team of snow builders, architects, designers and artists gather from every corner of the world. Together, under the guidance of the ICE HOTEL Art & Design group, they create this year’s incarnation of ICE HOTEL. It is a fascinating experience to watch ICE HOTEL take shape on location, and at the same time gives you an enviable insight into the special considerations that apply when designing, building and sculpting in snow and ice.In this region, nature’s manifestations shift with the succession of the seasons.

Take a leaf out of the river’s book: stop a while and take your time. Let your encounter with ICE HOTEL inspire warming thoughts about the nature of things and the eternal cycle of nature.
