Introduction
The charming village of Abisko boasts spectacular scenery just north of the Arctic Circle, while the renowned Abisko National Park spreads out from beautiful Lake Tornetrask.
Framed by the neighbouring hills of Lapporten, this is the driest part of Sweden, giving the area a long summer hiking season with the incomparable northern lights attracting visitors over the winter.
In the middle of the aurora zone, a stay at the ICEHOTEL gives you a great chance to experience the northern lights in style! This unique hotel doubles as an art exhibition with ever-changing sculptures shaped out of ice and snow. Every winter, the ICEHOTEL is created in a new guise, made completely from the natural ice on the Torne River. Each suite is individually themed and hand carved by select artists from around the world specialising in a wide range of disciplines. In the morning you are awakened with warm lingonberry juice by the bed, followed by a sauna and a hot shower, private or in a shared area depending on your choice of suite, before eating breakfast.
