Winter outer clothing
such as warm overalls, warm shoes or boots, hat and mitts is included in your stay at ICEHOTEL - free of charge (both cold and warm accomodation). In addition to this it is very good to bring the "base layer" or thermal underwear meaning long-johns and long-sleeved undershirt, woollen and fleece sweaters, scarf and your own gloves/mittens, as well as plenty of socks and woollen socks.

How to dress

A good hat is essential. It should protect not only the head but also the ears and neck. Gloves should give good protection to the hands while at the same time allowing adequate freedom of movement and feel.

Choose footwear that is somewhat larger than normal to allow space for socks and/or insoles. This results in a warming air layer inside the shoe or boot to keep you warm for longer. Additional clothing is used at very low temperatures. A down jacket or a thick fleece or wool sweater serves as an effective extra garment.

Base layer

The layer nearest to the body needs to transport moisture away. Choose underwear in a synthetic material, wool or a wool mix. Mid-layer. The purpose of the mid-layer is to reinforce and regulate heat insulation and transport moisture away. Fleece, preferably windproof, makes an excellent mid-layer.

Outer shell

The purpose of the outer shell is to provide protection against wet and wind in combination with the other layers. The material should breathe and permit full freedom of movement.
