Stay a night in the wilderness

Combining ICEHOTEL with a visit to our wilderness camps is the perfect way to explore the wilderness and challenging yourself. All wilderness camps are situated along the beautiful shores of Torne River. You can also be accompanied by a camp host, who can look after and prepare meals for groups as well as individuals.

During winter we venture into the wilderness by snowmobile or dogsled. In summer we go river rafting or explore the wilderness by hiking. Daytrips to wilderness camps last 3-4 hours and overnight excursions a minimum of one night. Tours depart from ICEHOTEL in Jukkasjärvi. More extensive excursions can also be arranged to wilderness destinations in northern Sweden, Norway and Finland.

Luspen wilderness camp is situated around 14 kilometres down river from Jukkasjärvi and just over six kilometres from the nearest road. This is our smallest camp, providing space for 10 overnight guests in two cabins, with a wood-fired sauna.

Pounojokki wilderness camp is 22 kilometres from the village of Jukkasjärvi. The camp consists of three overnight Sami-style cabins equipped with gas- or wood-burning stoves. Each cabin can accommodate six to eight people. One of the cabins is used as a communal restaurant cabin, with space for around 20 people. There’s a wood-burning sauna and a swimming jetty.

Around three kilometres upstream of Jukkasjärvi is our largest camp, Kuossanjarga, with space for around 50 dining guests, divided between three timber cabins. It is ideal for short-term arrangements that focus on wilderness cuisine. The camp can easily be extended with Sami tents to accommodate just over 100 dining guests at a time.
