Visiting package: Ice sculpting and dinner at Kota Restaurant (Autumn)

Ice Sculpting

Ice sculpting is an artform that requires a steady hand, an eye for form and mastery of an arctic element – ice. Every year, dozens of snow and ice sculptors create amazing works at the SnowHotel. Arctic SnowHotel offers its guests an exclusive opportunity to try ice sculpting – as the only place in Rovaniemi!

The season’s coolest experience starts with a guided tour of our ice storage facilities, where the temperature is always below 0°. In the facilities cooled by solar energy, the artists work on their sculptures, and the huge ice cubes lifted from the lake the previous winter are stored. On the tour, guests learn interesting facts about ice and snow sculpting as work and as a form of art.

Then it's time to try your own skills in the ice sculpting workshop led by our expert guide. In the workshop, everyone gets their own ice cube and learns to use ice carving tools. Those who participate in the workshop are also involved in building a new Snow Hotel: the unique works sculpted by our guests will be displayed in Arctic SnowHotel for the following season !
