Introduction
A thrilling 5-day arctic adventure break in
the frozen forests and lakes of Swedish Lapland, with a chance to
enjoy a host of winter activities. Try your hand at dog and reindeer
sledding, snowmobiling, snowshoeing and ice fishing and stay overnight
in the famous Icehotel. And, weather permitting, there's a very good
chance of enjoying one of nature's greatest spectacles: the 'Northern
Lights'.
Tour
information
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 to cross-country skiing. The Realm of Santa has
far more to offer than you ever imagined!
