The Montreal Snow Village truly is a winter wonderland.

Modeled after similar ice hotels in Finland and Norway, it is the perfect example of what can be done with the best and bountiful resource mother nature provides during the cold season.

The main attractions are structures made entirely of ice and snow: a hotel, a restaurant, a bar, a chapel and so much more.

New York City was selected as this year’s theme, so it is reflected everywhere from each room and suite, to the sculptures and meeting spaces!

I recently had the chance to visit and was very impressed with this man-made village.

Let me take you on a tour of the village through 35 images.

Enjoy 🙂

The village is open until March 24 and definitely worth a visit.

Tip: Make sure you bundle up as it gets quite chilly after a little while. Why not have a hot chocolate at the ice bar before touring the premises? It will keep you warm 😉

I would like to live this experience and stay the night over. That definitely be would be a cool adventure!

How about you?

Would you ever sleep in an ice hotel?
