A magical world of ice and snow
Each year, around twenty million kilos of snow and 300 000 kilos of crystal-clear natural ice are used to build the spectacular Snow Village which changes in shape and design to amaze visitors year after year. Covering an area of about 20 000 square metres, the Snow Village consists of a snow hotel with snow rooms and suites, ice restaurant, ice bar, ice chapel, a slide and a vast network of striking corridors full of spectacular snow and ice art to explore.
Snow Fun Safaris organizes both bus and snowmobile tours to the Snow Village every week.
