The Wood Hotel by Elite stands as a magnificent, 20-storey architectural triumph in Skellefteå, northern Sweden. This impressive structure is notable for being one of the world’s tallest wooden buildings, constructed entirely from locally sourced timber, which cements its commitment to sustainability. Designed to be climate-positive, the hotel balances innovative, modern design with a deep respect for its natural environment, sitting on the borderland between vibrant town life and unique, pristine nature. The hotel proudly holds the Green Key eco-label, inspiring guests to choose an environmentally responsible, yet thoroughly luxurious, stay.
Beyond its striking wooden façade, the hotel offers 205 contemporary guest rooms and outstanding facilities for both leisure and business travellers. Guests can enjoy a diverse culinary experience across its three restaurants, including the Italian-inspired Paolo’s, the Nordic-focussed Mandel, and Miss Voon, which serves Asian fusion cuisine on the 19th floor. The hotel’s luxurious crowning jewel is the Vana Spa, located on the top floor, which features a heated outdoor pool and provides a truly magnificent panoramic view across the city and the surrounding forest landscape.
Explore Skellefteå's highlights on a guided Fatbike tour lasting approximately 2 hours (with a biking distance of 5–7 km). The experience begins near the city centre, where guests first familiarise themselves with the specialised bikes. Fatbikes, featuring tyres nearly twice as wide as standard mountain bikes, are designed to be fun and cool, providing excellent stability and safety on winter's snow-covered roads. Throughout the journey, cyclists will enjoy the beautiful scenery along the Skellefteå River while cycling between the city’s most interesting sights.
This unique experience showcases Skellefteå’s interesting blend of historic architecture, including the buildings at the Nordanåparken outdoor museum and the charming church town "Bonnstan." The route also provides a striking contrast with modern landmarks, such as the impressive Wood Hotel, one of the world's tallest wooden buildings. The tour is fully guided by an experienced individual, with safety and well-being as the main focus, and includes the use of a Fatbike, a helmet, and a break with a warm drink. The easy route is suitable for everyone with previous biking experience.
Join an immersive Evening Ski Tour, a magical winter experience lasting approximately 3 hours, set in a beautiful outdoor recreational area close to the city centre. This is not a long-distance trek, but a slow-paced journey designed to connect you with the dark winter night, surrounded by a snow-covered forest. Guests will be using specialised "forest skis" or "ski-shoes"—shorter and wider than traditional skis—which offer excellent stability and are perfect for beginners, allowing participants to glide easily among the trees, far from artificial lights and groomed trails.
During the tour, the main goal is to fully enjoy the nature experience, gaze at the star-filled sky, and, if fortunate, witness the dancing Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis). The group will pause for a break during the evening, where an experienced guide will share stories and facts about the Northern Lights and the surrounding nature. The break includes a warm drink and a light evening snack around a cosy campfire. The fully guided tour is offered in small groups, with the rental of forest skis and ski poles included.

Embark on the ultimate Husky Adventure, a complete half-day experience lasting approximately 4.5 to 5 hours in total. Your journey begins with a comfortable transfer to and from the husky farm, requiring approximately 45 minutes each way. Once there, the highlight is a thrilling 10 km husky sledding ride, which takes around one hour to complete, allowing you plenty of time to fully immerse yourself in the power of the dog team and the serene beauty of the winter landscape.
The program has been extended beyond the sledding to ensure a truly rich experience. Following your exciting ride, you will be treated to a delicious lunch and coffee or a warm drink. You will also enjoy a comprehensive farm visit, where you’ll learn about the dogs and the world of mushing. Crucially, this longer format provides a wonderful opportunity to meet and interact with the full pack, including the adorable puppies and young dogs, giving you quality time with the animals outside of the sledding trail.
