Arctic SnowHotel theme 2025–2026: Life is an Adventure

The desire to explore has, throughout history, led people to seek out new and thrilling experiences – just as our guests from all over the world travel to the snowy heart of Lapland. But adventure can also be a mindset: the courage to step outside one’s comfort zone, to see things from new perspectives, and to pursue dreams.

The Arctic SnowHotel’s artworks lead visitors to adventures big and small, expected and unexpected. They awaken the realization that wonders can be found everywhere, and that every day can be a new adventure.

Main entrance

1 – Life is an Adventure / Alexei Vasiukov, Olga Morozova

No matter what comes your way, stay on your path and keep moving toward your light.

Waiting Room

2 – Space Odyssey / Dario Reina González &  Emiliano Lorenzo Vicente

Start your ultimate journey into the unknown cosmos! Outside our world there are mysteries and wonders promising exciting adventures among the stars and a chance to discover the secrets that our universe hides.

Ice Chapel

3 – Paths Entwined / Matvey Vavaev

The Ice Chapel is a place where two paths of adventure become one. Come inside and think of all the roads, sidewalks and gravel paths that finally led you into this frozen moment, where two hands, two hearts and two souls are joined.

4 – Ice Bar / Ville Haavikko

Adventures are full of thrills and chills, just like our Ice Bar! Come get a drink served in a glass made of ice and share your own tales – the taller the better!

VIP (Very Important Pets) / Anna Koivukangas & Juha Käkelä

The Show restaurant shows us a presidential lineup of pet portraits. In this gallery, the power belongs to the pets. Each animal made of snow has been very dear to its owner; a loyal friend, a family member, and a “Very Important Pet”. This exhibition is sure to make everyone smile and reminds us that the smallest companion can have the biggest impact.

 

6 – The Road / Olga Morozova, Viktor Slinkov, Aleksi Vasiukov, Ilia Mekhriakov, Egor Kuklin, Ekaterina Kuklina, Matvey Vavaev & Vladimir Kuklin

The first step of an adventure may be small, but the road ahead is full of hardships, friendships – and maybe even spaceships! On your way you will face challenges, meet interesting people and begin to understand who you really are. That is the magic of adventures, and the greatest adventure of all is life itself.

 

7 – The Balance / Olga Morozova, Viktor Slinkov, Aleksi Vasiukov, Ilia Mekhriakov, Egor Kuklin, Ekaterina Kuklina, Matvey Vavaev & Vladimir Kuklin

The best adventures are like playground swings: they go up and down, back and forth, diving into danger and slowing down to give time for reflection.  Life too has its high mountains and beautiful valleys, gentle raindrops and fierce thunderstorms, first kisses and last goodbyes. The true beauty of nature is balance – like a warm meal in a frozen cave.

 

8 – Temple of Life / Emiliano Lorenzo Vicente, Mariona Sans Amengual, Dario Reina González & Luis Alberto Sanchez Lopez

Here we sing an ode to life, to the universe, to nature, to the beginning of the world. It is a song for all who have lived their adventure, giving thanks for the gift of life and holding their hearts in their hands.

Living is a miracle, so let’s make the most of it.

101 – Together / Egor Kuklin & Rina Kuklina

Every traveller dreams of a companion. Someone to share the sunrise with, someone who laughs at the same small miracles, someone who can make a simple moment into a destination. And sometimes…

There is a spark. A meeting. A moment that feels like the beginning of a story. Two paths cross, and suddenly the world feels larger than before. Colours seem brighter, silence feels softer and every step now carries the echo of two heartbeats.

 

102 – Memory of the Pines / Anna Koivukangas & Juha Käkelä

Nature is full of stories and surprises! The deep lines and grooves of ancient pines carry the marks of past centuries. Every adventure is built on the paths of those who came before.

The great figure stands at the heart of the landscape. It shows the power of adventure and how even the smallest wanderer can grow on their journey. The spirits reach out from the trees like the memories of the forest. And life is its own adventure, where every step offers a new view of the world.

 

103 – Little Big Adventure / Jan & Jiri Lastovicka

This room celebrates the small things: lost objects that are someone’s treasures full of stories, memories and love. Towers of pocket-sized items rise high above us, showing their importance to the creature that collected and stored them in its home. When you wake up in a sardine can bed, one thing is sure – your life has turned into a true adventure. Who collected all these things and why? How big is the collector, and what meaning do these treasures hold?

104 – Under the Roots / Alexei Vasiukov

Life can be full of movement, discovery, new paths and adventures, but every traveller needs a place to return to: a place that is warm, safe and truly theirs. This is our small nest under the snow-covered roots. The soft light and quiet space make it feel like being held in the arms of the Earth. Here, you can slow down, take a deep breath and rest. Sometimes the greatest adventure is finding a place that feels like home.

 

105 – Aurora Adventure / Room 105 – Anna Koivukangas & Juha Käkelä

Step into a snowy dream where sky and earth become one. Auroras dance on the walls full of visions from Lapland’s nature. Arctic birds, salmon and other animals carved into snow come and go like in a dream, appearing and fading into the snow. Here, reality is a dream, and your dreams turn into an adventure!

 

106 – Journey Into a Dream / Ilia Mekhriakov

Maybe the greatest adventure does not wait outside, but comes from within. Welcome to the world of dreams, filled with endless landscapes, challenges and new ideas. Sleep is not an escape, but a test of our character.  In this quiet space, you travel into a dream world where imagination becomes reality.

Dreams are inner journeys, full of surprises and the joy of life. While we often focus on adventures in the real world, a third of our lives happens elsewhere.  Join us in this world to create, to face challenges, and to transform.  Fall asleep here and begin the most human of journeys — a journey within.

107 – Flying Toward the Light / Viktor Slinkov

The best stories are about movement, goals, and hope. Like small creatures drawn to warmth instead of flame, we search for paths that shine with possibility.  We follow the light toward safety, warmth, and dreams of tomorrow.

 

108 – Sleeping in the Sky / Olga Morozova

Welcome to a place whesoft, weightless world above everyday lie. Here, you don’t just sleep but cross the limits of reality. This place is safe, calm and beautifully surreal as you rest among clouds. A moment of peace turns into an adventure in our imagination. This is the dream only a few get to experience, and now you can join them.

 

109 – Birth of an Idea / Matvey Vavaev

Life is our greatest adventure, an endless chain of ideas. Some of them come to us quietly and unnoticed, others strike like lightning. We don’t always know where the come from, yet somehow we bring them to life. Come and explore the mysterious moment, when an idea is born in the human mind. Sparkling neurons inspire visions that are transformed into a glowing landscape of snow and ice. Shapes twist and reach out, thoughts connect and new paths appear. Find your own meaning in the patterns and create your own images and ideas. Here, imagination is not asleep – it is born.

 

110 – Open a Book … / Jiri & Jan Lastovicka

…and life becomes an adventure!

With a few sentences you are pulled into a world of excitement and discovery. Suddenly you are surrounded by an age of wonders, when submarines and hot-air balloons lived only in the pages of books. Forget mobile phones, Internet and social media – the wonders and distractions of modern life fade away and you begin a dream journey into unknown lands.  Airships drift across the sky as you explore the underground world, and the dark depths of the ocean reveal themselves through submarines – inventions that were once a piece of science fiction in Jules Verne’s time.
