Only 12 miles from Alta’s town center, along the Alta River, is where this special igloo hotel is located. The impressive 21,528 ft² structure is made entirely from snow and ice every year and offers guests a unique experience. Reindeer leather sleeping pads and ultra-warm sleeping bags are provided in each Sorrisniva Igloo Hotel guest room. With a constant temperature between 20 - 25°F (-4 and -7 °C), guests are encouraged to bring their own thermal under garments. A modern service building is located next door and features showers, changing rooms and a luggage storage room. Sorrisniva also has a sauna and 2 reserved, outdoor hot tubs for warming up and relaxation. Local specialties and produce are available at the 2 on-site restaurants. Guests can enjoy drinks at the ice bar, served in glasses made of ice. Artistic ice sculptures are on display throughout the hotel. The staff is happy to assist with booking a snowmobile safari to explore the surroundings.
