Set amidst breathtaking scenery, the Ice Hotel is rebuilt every year \u2014 so no two years are the same.<\/p>\n<p>Typically, temperatures range from -2 to +2\u00baC, the ice beds are covered with reindeer fur, with mattresses placed on top for comfort. Bedding, additional furs and special sleeping bags are all provided with bathroom facilities nearby.<\/p>\n<p>Not too far from the ice hotel is the Ice Church where many a couple have come to tie the knot. Not surprisingly, it has become fashionable for young couples to move away from traditional weddings.
