One of the architects and sculptors of the Sorrisniva Igloo Hotel will guide the guests through the Sorrisniva Igloo hotel, with a special focus on the snow decorations and ice sculptures. Along the way, visitors will also hear about the background of the ice sculptor, how they make the wonderful pieces of ice art, and how the guests can make their own ice sculpture. At the end of the visit, everyone is served the "Igloo Blue" ice drink in the ice bar.
The ice sculpting takes place outside of the Igloo Hotel. Everyone is given a piece of ice to use for their ice sculpture. Under the careful instructions of our ice sculptor, guests will use the sharp tools to craft their own ice sculptures.
Please note that this tour can only be arranged once per day.
