Bjorli Ice Lodge, Norway: Ice Hotels in Lapland and Scandinavia

Moving on from Lapland today and into the surrounding areas today sees us look into The Bjorli Ice Lodge, which is located in Bjorli, Norway. This is a very scenic area, with it being a national park and having the river Rauma flowing passing the hotel and the mountains which surround the Ice Hotel.

The Bjorli Ice Lodge in Norway

Open from January to April each year, depending on the weather, The Bjorli Ice Lodge offers a luxury ice hotel in which you can stare at the walls for hours finding new details which make this hotel so special. Another feature which makes this place so special is how in touch with nature the surrounding area is, if you go against the advice that the Lodge gives you, “light sleepers should bring earplugs to block out the creaking of ice and howling of wolverines.”, then expect to be prepared to listen to the howls and really get in touch with the surroundings. There are friendlier animals around too tough, so don’t be too intimidated, this includes many reindeer, to get that Christmas feeling and also moose. As well as this there are plenty of birds in the trees, fish in the river and many more animals which you will be able to discover when staying in the ice hotel.

Like the other ice hotels we have been talking about in this series (links are at the bottom if you missed them), then if you want to have a bit of fun, then why not head down to the local ice bar, which serves up some amazing ice drinks. If this is a bit too chilly for you and you would just like to warm up, and then you could alternatively take a trip to the nearby fire hut.

Again, as with the other ice hotels, you won’t be staying there every night you are on holiday, instead you will be in one of the other nearby hotels. This means you can have the experience you have been looking for, but also means you’ll be warm for the majority of your stay, as one night in an ice hotel will probably mean you get very cold.

Location

The Bjorli Ice Lodge in Norway is located in the village of Lesja, which is in the municipality of Oppland. Because of the great links, such as from the Raumabanen, you can easily travel to the ice hotel in a couple of hours from Molde or Trondheim.
