30 Once-in-a-Lifetime Adventures You Absolutely Need on Your Bucket List

27. Visiting the Ice Hotel in Sweden

Imagine sleeping in a hotel made entirely of ice and snow, where every room is a sculptural masterpiece. The Ice Hotel in Jukkasjärvi, Sweden, is rebuilt each winter with fresh blocks of ice from the nearby Torne River, offering guests an unparalleled Arctic experience. Cozy up in a thermal sleeping bag on an ice bed, sip cocktails from ice-carved glasses, and wake up to a warm sauna in the morning. This is truly a bucket-list-worthy way to embrace the magic of winter. If Sweden is too far, consider a stay at Canada’s Hôtel de Glace in Quebec, another stunning seasonal ice hotel.
