4.Explore the Icehotel, Day Trip from Abisko

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 6 reviews · 7 hours (approx.) · from $168

Travel from Abisko or Björkliden to Jukkasjärvi for about three hours inside Sweden’s famous Icehotel. See changing Art Suites, ice rooms, and the Ice Church, then warm up with lunch or coffee. Guides such as Joey, Gavin, and Sara have helped make the trip informative and personal.

“We weren't sure if we wanted to take a full day and spend the money to see the ice hotel, but I'm so glad we did. I'm also glad we had Joey as our transportation coordinator and Modestas as our driver. A polar storm was moving through the area the day we went. Snowfall was heavy, wind was ferocious, and the roads looked dangerous to me, but Modestas kept us safe every step of the way.”
