Rooms and Cabins

Snowhotel Kirkenes offers stays in the Snowhotel 365, open all year, constructed completely of snow and ice. Guests can select one of 13 uniquely carved rooms by master ice sculptors. Accommodations also include wilderness cabins inspired by traditional Sami hunting and fishing huts, equipped with underfloor heating and big bathrooms with showers. The cabins feature windows for admiring the scenery and chairs with sheepskin rugs. There are wooden design details and feature walls with the Aurora Borealis image.

Local Cuisine

The Snowhotel Kirkenes Restaurant concept centers on short-travelled, local ingredients, such as reindeer, lamb, arctic fish, and king crab. There are 4 unique 3-course menus that include local ingredients, such as reindeer, whitefish, cod, and a vegan option. The "Låven" farmhouse restaurant offers a view of the fjord and mountains. The Gabba hut provides snacks and warm drinks near a fire. Included in the stay at the wooden cabins is breakfast and a 3-course dinner.

Arctic Activities

Snowhotel Kirkenes offers arctic adventures, including King crab safaris, Northern Lights adventures, and snowshoe tours. King crab safaris involve snowmobile sledge journeys onto frozen fjords to catch, cook, and eat king crabs. Snowshoe tours are suited for beginners seeking an active winter holiday. Husky hikes are available in the mountains. In winter, try ice fishing for arctic char. In summer, enjoy King crab safaris by RIB boat and Husky Mountain hikes. There are guided day tours and tours with dinner.

Guests have access to the Snowhotel "Låven" restaurant and café. The hotel offers Northern Lights hunting bus tours.

“Staying here means choosing between a night in the intriguing ice hotel or the snug embrace of a wilderness cabin, an echo of Sami tradition. The allure extends beyond lodging, encompassing Arctic adventures and memorable chances to view the Northern Lights. In my opinion, the blend of unique experiences and thoughtful design elevates this property beyond the typical.”
