Kirkenes

Whether you are visiting during the white winter, the warm summer, or the yellow autumn, the frozen wonder of the Snowhotel will be waiting for you 365 days a year. On arrival, walk past reindeer grazing peacefully on one hand, and 180 happy huskies and puppies playing on the other. Stroll up to the magical ice hotel, which sits in front of the fjord and the unbelievably cosy hobbit-like Cabins spread in the hillside above.  Get a close-up view of arctic animals, meet the white reindeer Gabba and his 3 friends, and feed them with their favorite food, lichen. Move on to visit the husky farm home to Alaskan huskies and puppies. Have the opportunity to pet all 180 of them.  You can also stop by the Café, to get a hot drink, lunch or pastry.  Last but not least, visit the surreal Snowhotel. Marvel at the 14 stunning ice suites, all carved by master ice and snow artists, and order a drink in the jawdropping Icebar and Ice restaurant, which has a new theme every year.
