Description:
Modeled after the ice hotel in Sweden, Québec's creation is every bit as unusual and trendy. More than 15,000 tons of snow and 400 tons of ice are required to construct the 30,000 square foot building, which takes some five weeks to complete. It's a magnificent sight, to be sure, decorated with sparkling ice sculptures and rustic deerskins. If you're unable to secure hotel reservations, or if sleeping in the cold leaves you cold, you can visit for a guided tour or a cocktail in the bar. There are also a multitude of fun outdoor activities to enjoy, including snowmobiling, dogsledding, snowshoeing, ice fishing, ice skating and guided hikes.
