Sleeping in a Snow Hotel had been on our bucket list for some time, and we were going to strike that one off. We arrived at the Snow Hotel in early afternoon, in pitch darkness. It was extremely cold but calm and we had hopes for the Northern Lights. We were shown our bedroom closed off with a curtain and bed made of solid ice blocks. The only decorations in the room were the beautiful ice carvings on the icy walls. It was cold and out of this world. The snow hotel consisted of a reception, (with the obligatory fire extinguisher, although there was nothing remotely combustible inside) and two corridors leading to a few bedrooms in the form of igloos. The restaurant and rest rooms were in another building, this time made of wooden logs.
We spent the evening eating in the cozy restaurant. The place was extremely warm and we could cook our own meat on the open fire raging in the middle of the small restaurant. We ate reindeer meat for the first time, and it was absolutely exquisite. I will never think of Rudolph Dasher Dancer Prancer Vixen Comet Cupid Donder and Blitzen in the same Cooking reindeer sausageway from now on!
