Stay cool in SwedenStockholm, Sweden

View Map

Your Scandinavian escape begins in Sweden’s beautiful capital city Stockholm - also known as 'The Capital of Life and Movement'. Stockholm is built upon 14 islands, all part of an archipelago. It's a charming, vibrant city surrounded by beauty and water, hence its nickname, Venice of the North.

After enjoying a taste of the urban lifestyle Stockholm has to offer, it's time to continue north - 200km inside the Arctic Circle to the last wilderness of Europe: Abisko. In this region, around ten thousand years ago, glaciers carved out a riverbed and the Torne River was born. Since then, the crystal clear and pure waters of the Torne River have flowed freely along its 600km path, through Lapland and out to the sea in the southeast.

It's also here, that the world-famous Icehotel 365 awaits you. At the newly-built hotel, you can experience the natural beauty of the Torne River all year round. And thanks to the long days in the north, all energy for the new building will be produced by solar panels. Therefore, the Icehotel365 is essentially kept cool by the sun.
