Kirkenes Snow Hotel

Spend a night at the snow hotel in Kirkenes, Northern Norway. Like David Spinx, you can order a northern lights wake up call before going to bed.

You will not freeze when you stay here. The beds are warm and comfortable with reindeer fur, and there are toilets and showers with hot water in a building next door. Here you will also find a restaurant serving local, Arctic food.

The hotel

The Kirkenes Snow Hotel is built from scratch every year. This year it has more than 40 rooms, a bar and a chapel. All made out of snow and ice. You can choose between queen and king size beds, and all rooms have snow decorations on the walls. Ice sculptures are also on display throughout the hotel. And the hotel offers northern lights wake up calls.

Contact Radius Kirkenes for booking and prices.

Dog sledging and snowmobile safaris

In addition to the snow hotel, Radius Kirkenes offers Sami experiences, dog sledging and snowmobile safaris. You should definitely sign up for a northern lights safari while you are here. Start by watching David Spinx hunting the northern lights.

Another recommended activity in the area is the king crab safari.
