We stayed at the Snowhotel for 2 nights during our winter trip in Norway and loved it! The team is friendly and attentive and the facilities are great. We slept one night in the ice hotel. An incredible experience. We were given a warm sleeping bag and trained on how to sleep comfortably in a -4 degrees Celsius environment. A unique experience, which we highly recommend. As Honest Travellers we wouldn't say it if it wasn't true! We also stayed one night in the cozy Gamme cabin. It has a big window from which you can watch the northern lights dancing in the sky (if you are lucky with the weather). There are many activities in the premises. We did a husky ride and used the snowmobile. Incredible adventures, where we had a lot of fun. Our guides were superb! A special thank to Knut, who took us with the Snowmobile over the frozen sea and into the Taiga forest. He went the extra mile to make sure we had a memorable experience. We also attended a Sami experience. The Sami are the indigenous people that lived connected with mother nature and adapted to the rhythm of the arctic life. John introduced us to the hotel 4 reindeers, allowed us to feed them and then shared with us the heritage of his people. Such a lovely person and enriching experience. Last but not least, the food was great. We had dinner included, in the main restaurant and it was super yummy. They took great care to comply with our dietary requirements. During the day you can have a quick lunch at the Gabba restaurant. We loved the cod fish stew! Don't worry if you don't have the right attire to handle arctic temperatures. The hotel will provide you with warm coverall. socks and gloves as and when needed.
