ICEHOTEL Maintenance
In our real estate/maintenance department it is an advantage to like variety in your work. One day you’re changing light bulbs or shoveling snow, and the next day you’re dealing with a water leak. Every day offers something new. Together we work daily in all the hotel premises and ensure that it is a functioning environment for all guest and colleagues.
Here at Icehotel, which is located about 20 miles north of the Arctic circle, you have the opportunity to satisfy all your adventurous desires. Right around the corner you have ski slopes and trails, mile-long snowmobile trails and hundreds of lakes and rivers to fish in. As a member of Nordic Hotel and Resorts, you will get access to a staff price at Nordic Choice that give you the opportunity to discover the Nordics.
”Live like a local”
After breakfast you pack a lunch bag, something tasty to grill and of course some coffee. Then you put on all your winter clothes and head out. The clear morning is a little bit cold, but behind the pine forest the sun is rising. It is going to be a nice day.
You put on your helmet and start the snowmobile, and then you set off towards your secret destination. You travel through the magical winter landscape on the way to the lake where you have heard rumours about there being large arctic char.
Once there, you drill a hole through the meter-thick ice, lower your ice fishing rod into the hole. If you are like me, with poor patience, you’re done fishing after about half an hour without having caught anything. But if you try and give it an honest change you might just secure your dinner for the evening.
When you are done fishing, you use a shovel to make a sofa in the snow, cover it with a reindeer skin and build a campfire. You cook your lunch over an open fire and make a pot of coffee. Food tastes so much better outside, and nothing beats a good cup of coffee in the outdoors! In the afternoon you head back and cozy up in the warmth of your home.
