No I haven't seen the video, just the caps. but I do not think that is the real Ice hotel. It looks more like the storage shed where they store the ice over the summer. There are a number of ice blocks stored in the background, and the place looks very big. As far as I know the actual ice hotel lacks any really large indoor spaces. Also as far as I know the hotel should be melted when the race passed by.
To me it looks like the back of the clue just reads "Route info" written in two different fonts on top of each other.

Go to their site and look at the photos maf...it is an exact match, right down to the ice chandelier.
Interstingly, both the ICEHOTEL and Riksgransen offer dogsledding...can we figure which one is ours? I think more like the ICEHOTEL...but good to be sure!

I beg to differ. I think they have just built up a part of the Ice hotel interior inside their Ice factory. The chandelier is the same and next to it is an arch. But in the real ice hotel pics that arch is actually the walls of the hotel. In the warehouse it is just a separate arch, which we see in the preview.
Also the hotel closes in April due to melting http://www.icehotel.com/uk/ICEHOTEL/Stay-at-ICEHOTEL/.
But I do not think it is worth arguing over this. We will find out when the episode airs :yess:
I have not been able to find any picture matches from the inside of Kiruna airport. But the pictures look like the typical small Swedish airport so I would say it is a fair chance they are from Kiruna.

The dogsledding landscape looks flat with trees. That matches the area around the IceHotel. Also, the time of day is earlier for the dogsledding. The sun looks much higher than the snowy shots at Riksgransen.

I'm having trouble matching the location of the dogsledding but i think I have matched a dog to the IceHotel ! :lol:
Look in this youtube video of dogsledding at the Ice Hotel: YouTube
Here are video captures from the preview and from the YouTube video:
