Looking for an exciting and different winter?

Snowhotel Kirkenes is one of the most exciting places to work in Northern Norway. The snow hotel is nestled between the mountains and the Barents Sea. A very special place to meet guests from all over the world. In addition to the unique experience of staying overnight in the snow hotel or enjoying the winter in our cozy rooms, we offer other exciting activities.

Husky Safari has become a well known arctic adventure, since we started up with dogsled tours 10 years ago. The professional mindset, the deep care for our dogs, the passionate dog mushers and most of all, our 180 strong and beautiful alaskan huskies, has made us one of the most popular and reputable husky ventures north of the arctic circle.
