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.

Location Information

Snow Resort Kirkenes is located in Kirkenes, Hoybuktmoen, 5 km from Kirkenes. Kirkenes is known as the King Crab City. Kirkenes is one of the best spots to see the Northern Lights, from September to March. From the Snowhotel you can reach the Russian border, Finland, and Pasvik valley.

Services and extras

The Snowhotel offers several services, including husky taxi from the airport to the hotel. Packages are available with accommodation, activities, and transfers. Guests have access to the Snowhotel "Låven" restaurant and café. The hotel offers Northern Lights hunting bus tours. There is transfer service for guests arriving by boat, plane, or from other hotels in Kirkenes. The reception is open 24/7.

“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.”

Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about Snow Resort Kirkenes from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Guests consistently praise the lovely and cosy cabins at Snow Resort Kirkenes, some offering bush views, and many appreciate the modern and new feel of the cabins. The location is considered amazing, conveniently situated near the airport or cruise arrival point, and the resort itself provides a mini theme park experience with reindeer and over 160 Alaskan Huskies. While the ice hotel experience is unique, some guests have found the ice rooms to be less comfortable for sleeping compared to the cabins, and that the ice hotel can be a little melted.
