A real ice hotel!

_Elsa_

‘Of course, for true snow bunnies, skiing isn’t far away, and don’t miss the ice hotel (Hotel de Glace) and the adjacent Valcartier Vacation Village. They’re a bit outside the city but well worth the drive. I had always wanted to see an ice hotel, and this one did not disappoint. I didn’t have the courage to try the ice slide within the snowy hotel walls, but I did try the cranberry and vodka drink at the ice bar, drinking out of a glass made of … you guessed it – ice.

If you’re adventurous, you can spend a night at the hotel in an ice bed on top of what we were assured was a warm mattress under a heavy comforter. Or you can just tour the hotel and then take advantage of the shops and restaurants at the village. There are plenty of winter activities at the village as well, including slides with inner tubes, skating paths, snow rafting, and mechanical lifts. ’ (Source)

Elsa finds a YouTube video on the ice hotel. You’ve got to see this!
