Lapland Winter Adventures: The Itinerary

Day 1: Arrival
You will be welcomed at the airport or train station in Kiruna and then taken directly to the cozy lodge, which will be your starting point for the winter adventures of the next few days. You can check in at your leisure and move into your cozy room before meeting the team on site and receiving your Arctic outerwear. This evening you can relax in an open-air hot tub and look out for the glowing Northern Lights. Afterwards, you can enjoy the local cuisine: you will be served a 3-course dinner before you go to bed for a well-earned night's sleep.

Day 2: The world of the Sami and reindeer
Enjoy a hearty breakfast before visiting a local Sami guide and learning about the traditional Sami way of life. Lunch will be served over an open fire before you meet some reindeer up close. Afterwards, enjoy a relaxing evening at the lodge with a 2-course dinner in the tipi. When you're ready, take a snowmobile ride to the top of Mt. Ednamvárri, from where you'll have a magnificent 360-degree view over the mountain range, far away from any light pollution. You will share a snowmobile in pairs and can take turns driving. Keep your eyes peeled for the Northern Lights! Your guide will bring a camera and take photos throughout the evening as a wonderful souvenir of your time in the far north.

Day 3: Dog sledding through Sweden's wilderness
Another adventure awaits you today: you will visit a nearby husky farm and experience life as a musher in the Arctic. On the dog sled (2 persons per sled), you as a guest will get a feel for life in the untouched Arctic region, with breathtaking views and wildlife along the way through the forests and over frozen lakes and swamps. In the evening, dinner is served at the lodge before you set off in a minivan for the Abisko National Park in search of the Northern Lights. You drive along the quiet roads of Lapland to the best viewpoints all around. Perhaps you will be lucky enough to experience this magical natural spectacle up close!

Day 4: View over Lapland by snowmobile
After breakfast, enjoy a unique snowmobile safari where two of you can share a snowmobile and take turns driving. This half-day tour through Lapland takes you to the edge of the Arctic tundra and above the tree line to a unique vantage point that offers fantastic views over the untouched Arctic wilderness. You take a short break on a frozen lake, where you make coffee over a crackling fire and enjoy a Swedish fika. Here you also have the opportunity to try your hand at traditional ice fishing. Lunch awaits you back at the lodge. Afterwards, the afternoon is at your disposal. Finally, enjoy another 3-course dinner with local ingredients, prepared by the lodge's excellent chefs, before snuggling up in your cozy beds for one last night. Don't forget to take a few steps into the darkness and look for the Northern Lights!

Day 5: Departure
After breakfast, you will be taken back to the airport or train station in Kiruna. There you will start your journey home, hopefully with many memories of the incomparable experiences of the last few days.
