The water of free flowing Torne River is among the purest in Europe. In summer time this is a whirling world of opportunities, and during the arctic winter the frozen water forms the foundation for a fairy world of ice. The seasonal changes of the Torne River provide the yearly rhythm for people living nearby.

10 000 years ago the ice of the Ice Age carved its way through the landscape, creating the path of the Torne River. The water travels 600 km through Lapland before reaching the coast in southeast. Since the Torne River is the artery of Jukkasjärvi, ICEHOTEL dreams of one day being able to return its generosity. By making the Torne River a World Heritage Site her future life as a wild and free flowing river would be secured. She is definitely worth it.
