Arctic Ice Adventure - a Family Holiday in Sweden (EXFWL)
Duration:
5 days (may vary)
Areas: Sweden
Tour types: Family Adventures
Description
Dogsleds & Snowmobiles
Based in the northern outpost of Kiruna, our adventure starts with a dogsled safari. With teams of huskies attached to each sled (plus a skilled local doing the driving!) we 'mush off' into the wilderness. There's also the option of snowmobiling cross-country and over frozen lakes towards Kebnekaise, Sweden's highest peak. Tonight - and every night - there's the chance to enjoy that most traditional of Swedish activities: a sauna.
Reindeer Rides & the Icehotel
On a visit to Jukkasjarvi we overnight at the world famous Icehotel, where everything from the chandeliers to the glasses for your drinks is made of ice (here all the drinks are 'in the rocks'!). We can also play Father Christmas and ride our own reindeer sled, and enjoy a range of optional activities - from snowshoeing, ice-fishing to cross-country skiing. The Realm of Santa has far more to offer than you ever imagined!
