7 days (may vary)
Areas: Sweden
Tour types: Nature & Wildlife, Winter Adventures
Description
Deep inside the Arctic Circle in Swedish Lapland lies the magical Icehotel. From the neighbouring village of Kaupinnen and in the vast wilderness areas all around, we enjoy this very special location with a week packed full of activities. This area is characterised by deep forests, frozen lakes and the extraordinary Northern Lights. We spend two days learning to drive our own dogsleds and one day on snowmobiles. We also build an igloo, and try the Nordic art of cross-country skiing. The simple accommodation is a real highlight - cosy lodge and wilderness cabin with saunas and hot tub, your own igloo (optional) and the stunning Icehotel.

Accommodation
Simple lodge, wilderness cabin and Icehotel\r
Our accommodation for 4 nights is a simple but comfortable lodge, known as 'Mushers Dream', on an island overlooking the frozen Torne river, with 2-4 persons per room, shared facilities, shower and hot tub. On one night we stay in a simple wilderness cabin heated by wood-burning stoves, and there are wood-fired saunas instead of showers. 1 night is also spent in the famous Icehotel in Jukkasjarvi. Showers and toilets are in the warm area.
