Adventure trip in Swedish Lapland: The Itinerary
Day 1: Arrival
You will be picked up at Luleå Kallax Airport. The drive to the lodge takes only about 40 minutes. Once you have arrived you can settle in and relax. You will receive your warm winter clothes and in the evening a delicious 2-course dinner awaits you in the restaurant. Afterwards you will get some tips where you can catch a glimpse of the northern lights later in the evening with a little luck.
Day 2: Husky tour
After breakfast, the first adventure starts right away: you will drive to a nearby husky farm, where the friendly dogs are already waiting full of anticipation to pull you on the sleds through the beautiful winter landscape for about one and a half hours. Huskies love the cold winter climate in Swedish Lapland and are perfectly adapted to the cold, ice and snow.
After an introduction, safety briefing and information about the upcoming activity, you and a partner will learn to steer the husky team and guide it along a forest and lake trail. Along the way, you can enjoy the scenery and the thrill of driving a husky team. During the stops, you will have plenty of time to take photos and take turns driving. The guide will inform you about the life of a musher in the icy north, the dogs and the Arctic nature around you. You will be on the road for about 1.5 hours.
Back at the lodge tonight you can relax comfortably at dinner and with a little luck, the northern lights will dance in the night sky above you tonight.

Day 3: Ice fishing
Enjoy a hearty breakfast before heading out for ice fishing this day. The guide will give you an insight into the nature of the frozen sea, the ice conditions you will find and how to safely navigate this frozen world. This activity takes about two hours, including a break with a hot drink and sweet bread. The guide will bring the necessary equipment and you will use a large snowmobile sled to reach the best spots. Once there, you will drill holes in the ice and start fishing. You may even catch a fish to take back to the lodge for lunch!
Day 4: Aurora snowshoe hike
Start your day with a long and rich breakfast, before you can decide on what you want to do during the day yourself.
Have a good rest in the afternoon, because tonight it's straight on to the next adventure: together with a guide, you'll go on an approx. 3-hour walk with snowshoes in the surrounding forests. Hopefully, if conditions are right, you'll be able to see northern lights along the way. You will discuss the science behind the Aurora Borealis and get tips on how to best photograph them. Along the way, you'll take a break and learn how to light a fire in the snow. Dinner will be prepared outdoors by the guide and enjoyed sitting on reindeer skins under the stars. You can't get any closer to nature!
Day 5: Snowmobile safari into the woods
Today, after breakfast, an approximately two-hour snowmobile tour (2 persons per snowmobile, single use possible for an extra charge) awaits you through the snowy forests of Luleå, over the frozen sea and lakes. This activity will take you to some of the most beautiful places in the area with great views and the possibility to see wildlife.
At the beginning you will receive some safety instructions and background information about what you will experience afterwards. The main focus is on the nature, the people and the culture and history of the region.
Along the narrow trails you will stop regularly to enjoy the silence of the Arctic nature and take turns driving. Over tea and coffee, the tour guide will tell you about the surroundings and his way of life here in the far north.
Day 6: Candlelight dinner at the Aurora Hideaway
Organize this day just as you like: You can simply relax in your cabin, take a walk in the surroundings, take photos or book one of the many additional activities (see "Extras").
This evening, it's time for one of the highlights of your trip: a candle light dinner at the Aurora Hideaway, a mobile restaurant somewhere on the frozen Arctic sea. This experience begins with a snowmobile transfer to the mobile restaurant. Upon arrival you will be served a drink and after that a hot soup as an appetizer. The stove in the Aurora Hideaway crackles and the candles create a cozy and romantic atmosphere. Now you have the opportunity to go outside to look for northern lights dancing above you or just enjoy the absolute silence and the stars in the sky. You will have snowshoes at your disposal, so you can take a short walk while your guide prepares the main course over the outdoor fire. The relaxing evening will be rounded off with dessert, tea and coffee before you return to the lodge for a good night's sleep.
Day 7: Free Day
After the last exciting and varied days, there is nothing on the program today. Enjoy your breakfast in peace and decide for yourself what you would like to do today - or not! Under "Extras" you can see additional activities that you are welcome to book if you wish. Or you can relax on your last day and savor the tranquility of the snowy nature one last time before packing your bags.
Day 8: Departure
Depending on your departure time, you can still relax at the lodge and enjoy the ambience before you are transferred to the train station or airport on time for your journey. There you can say goodbye with many new impressions and wonderful memories before you start your journey back home.

Additional Information:
The order of tours and activities within this itinerary may vary due to weather conditions and other contributing factors that must be taken into account by the guides when planning your tour. You will receive the exact order of activities once you arrive on site. The far north can have fluctuating and unpredictable weather with very strong temperature differences. The safety of guests and animals comes first, and for this reason, we reserve the right to change the itinerary and intensity of activities if and when needed. This involves both adjustments due to insufficient snow (meaning we cannot drive the sleds) or too much snow (snowstorms and extreme cold can cause accidents and various other problems). The required adjustments and fallback options in rare cases are based on the day-to-day conditions and can be compensated by shorter or longer daily stages, alternative accommodations, or even single day trips. In extremely rare cases we may organise alternative transport (ie. cars, quad bikes, etc). Feel free to contact us if you would like a more detailed assessment of this tour and travel period.The service providers and tour providers always perform their services in compliance with and in accordance with the official requirements and requirements applicable at the time of stay. For this reason, corona-related reasonable usage rules or restrictions may arise when using said services. Please note these official requirements (Google Translate).
