A hotel built of ice and snow

ICEHOTEL is situated in the village Jukkasjärvi, 200 kilometres north of the Arctic Circle in Sweden. The heart and backbone is the River Torne flowing freely through the unspoilt wilderness. Covered with a meter thick ice layer winter time the river is the source of all our art, architecture and design. The pure water and the steady movement of the river creates the clearest ice possible.

Magnetite Heavy Art

Once again an unique art project has taken shape next to the Torne River. Seven specially invited artists have created a sculpture park of magnetite, Magnetite Heavy Art. The result can be seen via our web cam. Magnetite is to a lesser extent used in everything from industrial products, such as flooring and wall material, to jewelry. Now, magnetite will be seen in a whole new light.
