The Sorrisniva Igloo Hotel was the second of its kind and is the World's Northernmost Igloo Hotel. Each year our experienced artists and builders come together to build a new and unique hotel with a special theme. The Igloo Hotel has an area of 2,500 m2 and it takes 250 tonnes of ice and 7,000 m3 of snow to build it. We harvest the ice from Sierravann, which is only a few kilometers further into the Alta Valley from Sorrisniva, and we produce the snow using the water from the famous Alta River located only meters away from the hotel.
The Igloo Hotel is open from December 20th until April 7th for overnight stays and visitations.
It is possible to visit the Igloo Hotel from 12:00 until 20:00 each day.
Entrance fee: 350 NOK Adult / 180 NOK Barn
Ice drink: 145 NOK Adult / 100 NOK Barn
