Swedish Lapland

Swedish Lapland is a land of vast wilderness, northern lights, and unique Arctic experiences. It stretches from the dense forests in the south to the rugged mountain ranges in the north, including the stunning shores of the frozen Bothnian Sea. In winter, the freezing temperatures create thick layers of sea ice, often forming a vast, icy landscape, even allowing vehicles to drive across the frozen surface. This remote region offers a blend of outdoor adventure, rich Sámi culture, and cosy winter escapes.

Whether you’re chasing the Aurora Borealis, staying in an ice hotel, or exploring frozen landscapes by dog sled, Swedish Lapland offers unforgettable moments in every season.

Winter

In winter, the region transforms into a snow-covered playground. It’s perfect for husky sledding, snowmobiling, and ice fishing. Visitors can stay in world-famous accommodations like the Icehotel or the Treehotel. There, innovative design meets nature.

For those seeking something quieter, remote lodges provide warm fires and wood-fired saunas. You can also watch the Northern Lights from your doorstep.
