The icehotel in Alta, Sorrisniva, is Norway 's biggest hotel made entirely of ice! It has sleeping capacity for more than 60 persons! The hotel also has its own ice bar; and sitting there, by the bar, drinking from a glass made of ice definitely adds new meaning to the expression "on the rocks". The temperature indoors is minus 5'celsius constantly, all winter through, regardless of the outdoor weather conditions. This is not as cold as it actually sounds. "Dressing up" for a visit to the ice hotel bar actually involves wearing a thick and warm boiler suit. In the night you will rest comfortably in sleeping bags designed to keep you warm even if the outside temperature is ­25'c ! You lie on top of warm, insulating reindeer skins. We suggest that you spend the first night in Alta at the Igloo Hotel, and next at Ongajoksetra Mountain Farm to enjoy a very good dinner and an outdoor bath. The nice atmosphere around the dinner table, and the warm water in the comfortable bath tub, can help melt even the coldest soul. To Ongajok Mountain Farm main page
