Celebrate Christmas at ICEHOTEL 2024

Enjoy the winter wonderland

This year, escape the stress and musts of Christmas to the ethereal surroundings of Icehotel, Sweden. Swap night life for northern lights, taxi rides for dog sledding through winter wonderland and hotel linens for reindeer fur and sleeping bags surrounded by ice art.

Christmas at Icehotel is about relaxing and unwinding; read a book or play cards in the lounge over a cup of hot chocolate or enjoy award-winning food in the cozy restaurant.

Experience an unforgettable Christmas Holiday at Sweden’s original Icehotel.

Head out on a snowmobile ADVENTURE

Join us on Christmas’ most popular activity – Drive a snowmobile through northern Sweden’s magnificent winter landscape. Amazing views, white hilly landscapes, and ice-covered lakes await — an exciting snowmobile adventure through the wilderness.

Christmas activities

Join us on our activities in the snowy wilderness – choose between a northern lights tour, dogsledding or an ice sculpting class.

Or take a stroll in the village and feed the reindeer or find Santa’s mailbox to post this years Christmas wishlist.
