Icebar by icehotel
It all started in Jukkasjärvi, a small village in northern Sweden, where the winters are long, cold, dark and quiet.
Today, more than thirty years later, ICEHOTEL is famous around the world as the first hotel made of ice and snow.
Jukkasjärvi
It all started in Jukkasjärvi, a small village in northern Sweden where winters were long, dark and quiet.
A new idea
Most of the tourists visit in summer, to paddle the Torne River and enjoy the beautiful midnight sun. But back in 1989, ICEHOTEL’s founder Yngve Bergqvist had a vision and a strong belief that the polar winter could be just as amazing for people to experience.
ICE HARVEST
Every year in Jukkasjärvi, we harvest the ice from the Torne River. Each ice block weighs 1.7 tons.
ICE glasses
With over a hundred thousand ice glasses produced each year, they are one of our largest export products, and the original design remains essentially unchanged.
Inspiration from Japan
After a trip to Japan, Ynge invited artists to create an exhibition of ice art on the frozen Torne River.
In the middle of vibrant cities and regardless of the season, ICEBAR will welcome you with striking ice art and subzero temperatures. Everything in our ICEBAR’s are made from pure Torne River ice. The walls, the bar and the furniture - even the glasses from which you’ll enjoy your drink.
