Due to climate change, this year the Ice Hotel at Balea Lac was replaced by Igloo Village. The complex has 7 double rooms, a bar and a restaurant with ice tables and chairs. All rooms are igloo-shaped.
The technology used for building the complex differed slightly from previous years – more snow was used, frozen with the help of water and the action of the cold, and the thickness of all walls was increased so that the construction’s resistance would increase.
