The Alta Igloo Hotel is situated in Alta Friluftspark 20 kilometres from Alta town centre - in idyllic surroundings on the banks of the Alta River. The Alta Igloo Hotel is the only one of its kind and is built for the 9th time in 2008.
The Igloo measures approx 2000 square metres and the entire exterior and interior is made of snow and ice; the rooms, the beds, even the glasses in the ice bar. Apart from its 30 bedrooms, the Igloo Hotel houses suites, an ice-chapel, an ice-bar and several lounges.

The hotel is decorated with ice sculptures which are exquisite works of art. The temperature inside the hotel is constant between –4 and –7 degrees. However, guests are sleeping on reindeer hides inside sleeping bags that can stand –30 degrees - so there is not risk getting cold.

Next to the ice hotel, there is a service centre which holds a restaurant, wardrobes/toilets, showers/sauna, 2 outdoor hot tubes, meeting facilities, reception and a souvenir shop.

The Alta Igloo Hotel is usually open until mid April.
