As construction of the hotel is subject to the whims of Mother Nature, an exact time frame cannot be guaranteed, but the Ice Hotel usually remains open to guests from December through to April when the hotel closes to allow the thaw back into the River Thorne. The Treehotel is open all year round but is best visited either in winter to enjoy the best of the winter activities and to see the Northern Lights, or in spring when you can enjoy lovely walks along the Lule river and hiking in the surrounding areas.
Itinerary
Fly to Kiruna
Lapland, Sweden
The first stop of this once in a lifetime adventure is the iconic Ice Hotel. Remodelled each year from ice blocks garnered from the river Torne, ice sculptors are handpicked to design an art suite each. You will spend one night discovering the unique experience of sleeping on ice in one of the Ice Hotel's beautiful cold art suites and then move to one of the warm chalets or hotel rooms. A stunning insta-worthy haven, capture epic photos to share with all your friends at home!
Enjoy a one-of-a-kind dinner underneath the night sky at Ice Hotel's secluded wilderness camp. Your chef will serve up a delicious three-course dinner of local specialities while you relax on reindeer skins, looking out for the elusive Northern Lights, this is a unique one of a kind wilderness dinner. You can really get a taste of life in Lapland with the epic experiences you can join, husky-sledding through the snow laden landscape, horse treks, snowmobiling and the ‘must-do’ ice sculpting – you will be bursting with excitement from beginning to end.
Accommodation: Ice Hotel ( 2 nights )
Harads, Sweden
Next stop is the most unique and stunning design-led Treehotel - catch a train through the snowy wilderness or take a private transfer 3 hours 45 minutes south of Kiruna to reach your very own treehouse.
This extraordinary haven will blow your mind. Spend the night perched high in the canopy of the forest of Harads in one of the seven individually designed Treehouses, whether you choose the Mirrorcube, Birds Nest, UFO or 7th Room, you will be in for a once in a lifetime experience. High in your secluded house in the trees you can expect incredible sunrises and sunsets and let nature engulf you. As well as the unique accommodation, super hospitality, and delicious Swedish fare, a wonderful variety of winter activities will be waiting for you. From relaxing in the tree sauna to husky sledding through the wilderness and an epic snowmobile adventure to find the elusive Northern Lights, there is so much to see and do.

Harads, Swedish Lapland, Sweden
Your final leg of this Lapland adventure will take you to the cutting-edge Arctic Bath Hotel. A very unique floating hotel which is surrounded by water, freezing over in the winter.
