‘ Immerse yourself into a total Arctic experience in the secluded wilds of the very north of Norway’

The Snowhotel Kirkenes devotes itself to presenting all-encompassing Arctic experiences to its guests. Located about 8 kms from Kirkenes, the hotel is surrounded by the Arctic wilderness. It has 180 huskies, reindeer graze behind the chalets and giant king crabs live at the bottom of the fjord. In the snowy winter months, the eerie northern lights illuminate the snow-covered ground with their vibrant green and yellow hues. The snow and ice hotel is open every day of the year for an overnight stay. The region around Kirkenes and the Barents offers raw and beautiful Arctic landscapes, with tundra, mountains, dense pine forests and thousands of lakes. The Snowhotel offers you a winter wonderland of experiences that include husky sledding, king crab fishing, snowshoe walking, and snowmobile driving, as well of course, the phenomenon of the northern lights. You can also learn about the Sami people and the region’ s history during WWII. There is a daily activities programme in winter from 1 December until 30 April, with snowmobiles starting from 20 December and ice fishing from 10 January. You stay in the Gamme cabin with an option to experience an overnight in the snow and ice rooms. The ice bar serves drinks all year round and dinner is served in the hotel’ s restaurant.
NOTES There are flights from Heathrow and Gatwick via Oslo to Kirkenes airport. You may want to break the journey and have a night in Oslo – it may give you more flexibility with flights and less waiting time connecting in Oslo. The hotel collects you from Kirkenes airport. Half-board and airport transfers are included.
SAMPLE PRICES From about £ 3,890 including economy flights to Kirkenes via Oslo, private transfers and bed and breakfast in a Gamme cabin for 5 nights.
