For the ultimate winter getaway, book an igloo village
vacation in Sweden.
You have several options to consider including Alta and Kakslauttanen. If you love the fantasy and beauty of the
Chronicles of Narnia movies, you will simply fall in love with the igloo
villages in Sweden.
The pristine white snow and elaborate ice hotel construction is stunning and
unlike anything you will encounter.
Activities
to Choose From
In a winter wonderland such as Sweden, there
are many activities that will keep you busy. You can book a dog sledding tour
or safari and experience the majestic Husky dogs as they take you for a ride
along the countryside. Snowmobiling is quite fun and if you are really
adventurous, you can take a dip in an ice hole. Yes, the locals actually cut a
hole in the ice so you can swim in the waters below that are just above
freezing.
Accommodations
Alta offers some traditional hotels but
this town also has an igloo hotel so you can experience an icy overnight stay.
Of course, the ice beds are covered in animal skins and fur and topped with
mattresses and sleeping bags. There is even an ice chapel nearby should you
want to be married or renew your marital vows.
In Kakslauttanen, you will discover some
traditional lodging as well as ice igloos and glass igloos. The ice igloos can
provide the cool experience while the glass igloos offer warmer accommodations.
The glass igloos do not frost over so you can lie in bed while watching the
night sky. And if you time your vacation right, you will get to witness one of
nature's most fantastic displays – the Northern Lights.
Your
Overall Experience
There is nothing quite like vacationing
near the Arctic Circle and experiencing all
that snow. Whether you stay in icy lodging or choose warmer offerings, peacefulness
exudes throughout the land. The snow is an excellent sound buffer and the air
is cold, clear and fresh. The lights from your chosen hotel accommodations
sparkle against the snowy backdrop. In addition, the builders and artists that
construct the ice igloo villages, chapels and hotels have such imagination that
you will enjoy the ice galleries and sculptures that are displayed.
Simply put – you must book a vacation in Sweden and
experience an igloo village. Even if you are not crazy about snow and cold
weather, you will not regret the experiences you have. The sights, activities
and sounds are truly a once in a lifetime experience.
