its protected status; it has been a nature reserve since 1971. During
the winter the waterfall freezes, and the ice magically creates
formations & caves, which are lit up at night. By Christmas time the
magnificent Ice Igloo is ready - sculpted from the frozen water, inside
the Igloo there are many rooms, a great auditorium with 100 seats &
a beautiful bar made from ice. By the end of April the Igloo disappears
into Tännforsen's rapid-flowing waters. On the 3hr trip you will stop
for a traditional Swedish Fika – a coffee with Waffles. The 4hr trip
includes a welcome drink inside the Igloo Bar and dinner at the on-site
restaurant.
