Swedish Lapland Adventure

Sweden

The Northern Lights, dog-sledding and ice-driving are just snippets of what is on offer in Swedish Lapland. Pack a few extra layers and head north for a Swedish adventure in a true Narnia-esque landscape.

Swedish Lapland is the perfect short break destination. Only a few hours flight away, and do-able in 2 or 3 nights, the hard-hitting adventure seekers can rest easy in the knowledge that it is all at their finger tips.

Swedish Lapland has activities for both the adrenalin junkie, and the slightly less daring amongst us. Popular activities include dog-sledding, snow-shoeing in search of the Northern Lights, driving on ice, and manoeuvring a snowmobile around the Luleå archipelago. We can also arrange meetings with the local Sami people, or even organise a 3 course dinner – yes, on the ice – complete with candelabras, linen tablecloths and a crackling fire.

Swedish Lapland is not just for the winter, and when the ice melts there is still plenty to see and do. Kayaking, walking, sailing and fishing are all possibilities, and the setting is simply spectacular.

We have found the best, and most original, hotels that make the most out of a Swedish Lapland adventure, from suspended rooms in the Treehotel, to a cosy cabin at Abisko Mountain Lodge.

Testimonials

If you get lucky, you might even spy the Northern Lights!

Why? Because going to meet Father Christmas in his homeland has to be top of any child's wish list at this time of year. Even adults will find themselves suspending disbelief in this setting. Reindeer wander freely, Santa is just as you imagine and elves rush around with hot drinks and ginger biscuits. The adventure doesn' t stop when you' ve seen the big man, either. Your hotel room for the duration is a log cabin surrounded by snow-frosted Christmas trees, and other activities...
