Snow Village – Kittilä, Finland 120 miles north of the Arctic Circle, in the heart of Finnish Lapland, the Snow Village of Kittillä rounds up 33 million pounds of snow every year to rebuild its 215,000 ft2 winter masterpiece. The end result is an impressive network of colorfully-lit snow tunnels, leading you to an ice restaurant, an ice bar with its own igloo disco and over 30 rooms decorated floor to ceiling in ice carvings each more intricate than the last. From snow forests to friendly goblins and glowing jagged ice crystals that look like something out of planet Krypton, the themes may change every year but one detail remains the same: everything is made of snow and ice. Yes, even the beds. 23 to 28 °F may not seem like the ideal sleeping temperature but, with thermal sleeping bags provided to keep you warm and some hot berry juice when you wake up, you’d be surprised how comfortable the whole experience really is. Don’t worry, if it all gets to be too much, an underground sauna is available to overnight guests and there’s a heated back-up room on standby, should you change your mind in the middle of the night. #info #EverythingsInfo
