to get started.

Being able to visit the dogs (and hold the new puppies!) was great. Seeing last year’s snowhotel was a neat experience, albeit expensive. The cottages were lovely and cozy and the staff was very friendly. The Snowhotel is located on beautiful land with good hiking on either side of the fjord. We enjoyed spending hours wandering around and never saw anyone else on the trails. We were able to push the twin beds together very easily, so it’s a good set up for both couples and friends who travel together.

The location of snow hotel provides easy access to the unique landscape, wilderness, and adventures of the arctic. Excellent service! Top notch staff! Highly recommended and would definitely go back there again and stay longer next time!

Cabins were fantastic. Staff was warm, accommodating and super friendly. Loved the activities available to purchase (husky saferi!) and also all the ones we did independently--especially snow shoeing. Greatly enjoyed the hot smoky berry juice. Very cool to see snow hotel and ice bar.

We felt at home in a relaxing Nordic setting. The food was excellent. We were encouraged to interact with the mushing dogs. Reindeer were on site. Each room in the Ice Hotel was a work of art. Guests gathered after dinner in the Ice Bar for comradery. Our cabin was cozy, warm and provided beautiful vistas.

We loved everything honestly. There are bikes and hiking trails. There are reindeer and huskies to play with. The rooms were spectacular. The vibe was warm and honest. It was all about enhancing your outdoor northern Norwegian experience. The food was delicious. We did the crab Safari on the Barents Sea. We really enjoyed it and the area is super unique.

Wonderful once in a lifetime experience for what is more than a hotel! Cabins were incredible - unique, new, clean and modern. 180 huskies that were super friendly added a very special aspect to the trip. Reindeer (both captive and wild) made you feel like you were in a story book. Sauna was at the level of a fancy spa. Restaurant offered very nice meals. Activities on offer were exciting and good value for money - Husky hike and Snow Hotel visit. We also kayaked on the Fjord which was super special. We visited here for 2 nights post our Hurtigruten trip which was a wonderful end to such an excellent trip!

This is a very relaxed and well run snowhotel. Offers free pick ups from town and from the Hurtigruten boat and half board is included. The cabins are very comfortable and have north facing aurora viewing windows. The husky and snowmobiling facilities are excellent. Good buffet breakfast. The snowhotel rooms are intricately carved.

“A great experience, but not for budget travelers.”
- • Leisure trip

- • Stayed 2 nights
- • Submitted from a mobile device
Everything was a bit more expensive than we would have hoped. It is well-planned and -executed, but it’s not a place for travelers on a budget. It was difficult to figure out if transportation other than that provided by the Snowhotel (for a hefty fee) was even available in the area, and while the dinners were very good, we had trouble finding alternatives without a rental car. We would have liked to have taken a dog or two hiking with us, but the only way to do so was to pay a large sum for two hours and also have a guide come with us. We are more of the free-wandering types and we’re gone for about 6 hours one day hiking. We didn’t want to pay for that, too.

The evening meal had no choice and in our case consisted of a whale meat starter and fish main which was not to everybody's taste. Transfers to the airport are expensive. Our Gamme Cabin/Pod was overheated and we could not find a way to turn down the temperature.
