迷人的「拉普蘭」ENCHANTING LAPLAND

走訪白雪皚皚明亮耀眼的極北之地 Up north where Christmas is snowy and bright

想像自己睡在冰床上、用冰杯喝飲料、坐在冰教堂的景象。

聽起來是不是很令人難以置信呢？

不過，這一切都可以在拉普蘭體驗到！

每年冬天，建築工和藝術家會用僅僅六週的時間以冰、雪建造出一座村莊。

這個充滿魔幻氛圍的地方，適切地被命名為「雪村」。

雪村裡的眾多冰雕及冰家具會以不同顏色的燈光照亮；也會放置在溫度介於攝氏零下二 度到零下五度之間的冰雪套房內。

儘管室溫微寒，入住的賓客卻不必擔心會冷得睡不著；因為每張冰床上都備有保暖的睡袋。

另外一項特殊體驗就是到冰餐廳用餐。

在那裡用餐的客人能夠品嘗到當地美食，諸如馴鹿肉、北極魚以及雲杉冰淇淋等。

有些人會在雪村的冰教堂結婚。

新郎搭乘雪上摩托車抵達教堂，而新娘則是乘坐雪橇前來。

拉普蘭的雪村是全世界其他地方都無可比擬的，所以，你一定要親自走一趟！

 Imagine sleeping on an ice bed, drinking out of an ice glass and sitting in an ice chapel. Doesn't that sound unbelievable? But you can do all those things in Lapland! Every winter, construction workers and artists build a village out of ice and snow in only six weeks. This magical-looking place is suitably named Snow Village.

 Numerous ice sculptures and ice furniture in Snow Village light up in different colors. They also appear in the snow suites in which indoor temperatures range from -2 to -5 degrees Celsius.

Despite these cool temperatures, overnight guests don't have to worry about being too cold to sleep. Every ice bed comes with a warm sleeping bag. Another special experience is eating at the Ice Restaurant. Those dining there can get a taste of local food like reindeer, Arctic fish and spruce ice cream.

Some people get married at the Ice Chapel in Snow Village. Grooms come to the chapel by snowmobile while brides arrive on a sled. You can't truly compare Lapland's Snow Village to anywhere else on earth, so be sure to see it for yourself!
