As ice architects prepare to begin their work, a Vitruvian bonhomme<\/em> poses in the moulds that will be used to create a h\u00f4tel de glace<\/em>\u2014an ice hotel\u2014at a family resort near Quebec City. Just as our photographer used light effects to create an ethereal image, the snowy fortress itself, kept at a temperature between -5 and -8\u00b0 C, will use colourful lighting to enhance its 15,000 tonnes of artificial snow and 2,000 blocks of ice sculpted into elaborate decorations, bar seating and bed frames.<\/p>\n

The space is not just for those splurging on \u201conce-in-a-lifetime\u201d overnight stays in sleeping bags (with fireplaces and hot tubs in several suites). So says Catherine Dumont, a marketing coordinator for Village Vacances Valcartier, which has welcomed lodgers in the igloo-like structure for 22 years running. Visitors can take in the structure and just grab a drink\u2014like the \u201cNorth Pole\u201d or \u201cSex on the Ice\u201d cocktails\u2014at its temporary bar from late December. From mid-January, kids can try an indoor ice slide. Rooms are available Jan. 2, 2022 to March 20, 2022.<\/p>\n\n
