So if you’re looking for another reason to revisit the magical kingdom of Arendelle, there’s no need to let go of that fairy tale idea just yet. Here are four snowy European getaways that will help you channel your inner Elsa. **1\.** [**Sorrisniva Igloo Hotel**](http://www.booking.com/hotel/no/sorrisniva-iglo.en-us.html?sid=c8a71bce272312996a1c657f7b3889b7;dcid=1;origin=disamb;srhash=4185351693;srpos=1) **in Alta, Norway.** Every year, this frosty palace is remade entirely from snow, complete with an ice chapel for memorable wedding receptions. Visitors can warm up in the outdoor hot tubs (although the cold never bothered you anyway, right?). **2\.** [**Igloo Village Kakslauttanen**](http://www.booking.com/hotel/fi/hotelli-kakslauttanen.en-us.html?sid=a1d74d429dbe3d920cd8942a3ba0a52d;dcid=4;no%5Frooms=1;req%5Fadults=2;req%5Fchildren=0&) **in Saariselka, Finland.** Spend a night in Kakslauttanen’s glass igloo pods and view the Northern Lights from the comfort of your bed. Guests brave enough to venture into the elements may try ice swimming, ice fishing or a reindeer safari fit for Kristoff and Sven. **3\.** [**Balea Ice Hotel**](http://www.booking.com/hotel/ro/balea-ice.en-us.html?sid=a1d74d429dbe3d920cd8942a3ba0a52d;dcid=4;no%5Frooms=1;req%5Fadults=2;req%5Fchildren=0&) **in Cîrţişoara, Romania.** A visit to southeastern Europe’s first ice hotel will have you dining on ice plates at ice tables while sitting on ice chairs. Pass the time with traditional winter activities like sledding, ice skating and a snowman-building contest where you can attempt to recreate Olaf. **4\.** [**Det Hanseatiske Hotel**](http://www.booking.com/hotel/no/det-hanseatiske.en-us.html?sid=a1d74d429dbe3d920cd8942a3ba0a52d;dcid=4;ucfs=1;srfid=9574650779905d3449cd67bec9760ef20c4f2abdX3;highlight%5Froom=)**in Bergen, Norway.** This real-life city inspired Arendelle, the movie’s fictional setting. The hotel is situated a short distance from old-world attractions like a fish market, museum and a cable car that takes tourists up Bergen’s highest mountain.
