Downright magical all year round
All seasons are magical in the arctic wilderness.
This hotel is all about outdoor activities, which rotate with the months, the position of the sun, the length of the days, the temperatures and the accessibility of the landscape.
Cruising on the Alta River or hiking through the forests, you pass countless shades of green or deep autumn colors.
Then the first snow falls, the river freezes over.
Then follow the months of white and blue, of snow and ice.
The long nights dominate, eyes searching for the northern lights.
In the suites of Sorrisniva Arctic Wilderness Lodge, you can follow the color movements of the firmament from the comfort of your bed. Where the world can't find you...
Sleeping in an igloo
Equally special are overnight stays in the intimacy of an igloo, between walls of snow and ice sculptures, and with fairy lights.
The bed on a base of ice is made up of a thick mattress, reindeer skins and down comforters: well, it really is pleasantly warm!
Every winter the Sorrisniva Igloo Hotel is rebuilt with love, patience and artistic craftsmanship.
Each spring, first the many fine details melt away, then the walls, the pillars.
