The Ice Hotel in Romania

Untravelled Paths has a variety of getaway packages to Romania on offer, ranging from high energy adventures to easy-going, cultural breaks. Packages can be tailored to suit your needs and include optional expert assistance from bi-lingual reps as well as a once in a lifetime stay at the awesome Ice Hotel.

Nestled between the icy peaks of the Fagaras Mountains and veiled by clouds, the remote Ice Hotelstands 2000m above sea level and can only be accessed via cable car. Each winter, once the Balea Lake freezes over, the locals cut and drag blocks of the icy lake to the location of the hotel which is set against a magnificent backdrop. Hand carved by local craftsmen using traditional techniques, the frozen Balea Lake is transformed into the beautifully intricate structures of the Ice Hotel and its magical Ice Church. With individually sculptured rooms of ice, each and every corner of the Ice Hotel is stunningly unique and is re-designed every winter.

Admire the view, take part in ice sculpting master-classes, slide down the mountain on a wooden sledge, enjoy a snowmobiling adventure or simply snuggle up in our professional sleeping bags and experience the moment. Whatever you decide to do, Untravelled Paths Ice Hotel breaks will be everything you imagined.

But the Ice Hotel isn’t all Romania has to offer. Untravelled Paths helps you to discover the secrets of this diverse and unspoilt country. From an evening of trendy bars in buzzing Bucharest and beautiful panoramas of the rolling Transylvanian countryside to laid back strolls in the medieval town of Brasov and a dramatic visit to Dracula’s historic Castle, your trip is guaranteed to be utterly unforgettable.
