Amazing location, fantastic cultural experience - very friendly staff!
NorwayBeing 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.
United States of AmericaThe 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!
United States of AmericaCabins 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.
United States of AmericaWe 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.
United States of AmericaWe had an amazing stay! Recommended, what an experience!
NorwayFantastisk sted. The staff is amazing. You feel like home but living unique experiencies! We were very like to do all the activities and sleep one night in the snow room. Everything was perfect!
Spainsuper friendly staff, great location to head to pasvik national park
NorwayBreakfast was great, a lot of choice and super tasty.
PolandThe cabins are so comfortable, cosy and well thought out. Excellent facilities, lots to do, delicious food, friendly staff, great service and lots of equipment and clothing provided. And on top of all that there are the huskys and the reindeer and the frozen fjord and the walks and the ice sculptures. Great place for a long romantic winter weekend.
