The Ice Hotel

The ice hotel has been around since 2005, always rebuilt annually (depending on the weather & pandemic which put it on hold for 2 years) in the heart of the Fagaras mountains. It is open mainly from January to April as access to Balea Waterfall is done only by cable car.  It is truly a magnificent creation using bricks of ice which have been extracted from glaciers in the Fagaras mountains. In less than 1 month, glacier artists construct the hotel which attracts approximately 8000 tourists per season. But it is more than a hotel, it is more like an ice resort, featuring mini bar access, an ice restaurant, and an ice church for the important Christmas mass.The temperature inside of the hotel is -2 degrees so you better bundle up or prepare to cuddle close to a loved one. Nearby you have Balea lodge and restaurant where you can warm up your hands over a hot cup of tea or serve an afternoon lunch. It’s time to be extraordinary by taking on a winter lodging experience like no other, right in the heart of the fiercest mountains in Romania!
