Game of Thrones Ice Hotel in Finland

When I went to a competition in Latvia, I was able to make a quick side trip to an ice hotel in Finland. More details on the way…

blue snow tunnel
I don't trust that grin!
GOT ice bar
the giant face room: imagine waking up to THAT!
the long hall of banners
assuming this is the Dothraki horsemen room
my room number, yay! I have to sleep on a bed made of ice, BOO!
my favorite room: the ice dragon room! (I'm biased)
this is what you get for enduring a fitful night on an ice bed 🥶
Google says: you are HERE (and you're probably pretty cold, since the Arctic Circle is to the south)
me, finally taking my rightful place in the Iron, er Ice, Throne. Westeros is mine!
the Lannisters' lion room, with purple lighting
Mother of Dragons snow wall scene
the bed of the Night King room; I had a plastic orb to play with for photos
the Night King room, with creepy ice blue (maybe a little purplish here) eyes!
the life-size (if they could actually be alive) dragon snow sculpture (Drogon or Viserion, not sure which); maybe not supposed to be behind that rope, but I'm a professional!
a dragon skull snow sculpture
the amazing and huge dragon snow sculpture! Probably Drogon, but it could also be Viserion, obviously, since it's made of snow
a champagne ice bar
SnowVillage Lapland Hotels signage outside the ice hotel
the Starks' wolf room
the amazing snow sculpture of the Three Eyed Raven room
a snow sculpture of a weirwood tree
another view of the white walker face room
close up of a white walker face in a snow wall
winged women sculpted into the snow walls

no useful info here yet, sorry

This is where I’ll add an interesting story (or boring, we’ll see) about what’s in the gallery.

so, where is it?

The SnowVillage is in Finland, above the Arctic Circle. See the pic in the gallery.

still more boring stuff that nobody reads

I’m slowly working on rebuilding my collection of ice sculpture galleries (like very slowly). I had a pretty impressive collection on the old ice carving secrets site, so I have all of those and many more to add as well. My current estimate is that I will end up with at least 7 million photo galleries on the site. Oops, I meant 60. But that still means I have a long way to go. As for more like this, check out the selection of galleries from icy places.

Also, you might also find photos and info from this gallery on the ice sculpting secrets Instagram account or the facebook page. Since you can’t comment on this page, comment there if you have any thoughts or knowledge related to this event. Thanks!
