Nordic winter skills
Closeness to nature is part of daily life in here. Spend some time with your guide discussing the forests and the frozen sea and the nature that surrounds you. Your guide will share tips on how to live and stay safe in the Arctic region and you’ll look for animal tracks and signs from the variety of wildlife that lives in the area.
Snowmobiling across Sápmi's beautiful landscapes
After enjoying breakfast, prepare for a four-hour tour where you will head out on a snowmobile to explore the frozen landscapes of Sápmi. Search for wildlife and soak up the low, winter sun.
Discover the magic of the Arctic aurora
After dinner, a guide will fit you out with snowshoes or guide you aboard a snowmobile as you set out on a tour to a secluded location to look for the Northern Lights. If luck comes your way, they’ll be shining above in the dark night skies.
Days 4–5
A night at the one-of-a-kind Treehotel
Discover more of magical Swedish Lapland as you change location to spend two nights at the Treehotel. Reindeer stand proud beneath snow-heavy trees, the night skies dance with iridescent shades of green and purple and locals and visitors alike share stories over fika, the traditional Swedish coffee and pastry. There are plenty of activities on offer, whether you want to explore the forest on foot or bike, kayak along the river or simply relax in the sauna.

You’ll be surrounded by torches and candles as you are served a three-course dinner in a heated tipi tent on an ice covered lake. You sit on reindeer skins while enjoying a fantastic meal over two and a half hours with a chance of seeing the Northern Lights.
A private transfer to Luleå Airport via Gammelstad Church Town
Gammelstad Church Town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site situated in Gammelstaden near the city of Luleå, Sweden. It is the best preserved example of a type of town that was once widespread throughout northern Scandinavia. The 15th-century Nederluleå Church is surrounded by 424 wood-built houses which were only used on Sundays and during religious festivals to accommodate worshippers from the surrounding area who could not return home the same day because of the distance and the difficulty of travelling in wintry conditions.
Days 5–7
Two nights in stylish Stockholm
Enjoy your days exploring Stockholm, Sweden’s beautiful capital. Set over 14 islands, it’s a place of water and greenery as much as the urban, a place where centuries of history meet the constant forward thinking nature of its near 1 million inhabitants. As well as fine museums, trend-setting restaurants and vibrant nightclubs, a short cruise out of the city will find you among the thousands of beautiful islands that make up the Stockholm archipelago, making this a city that feels surprisingly outdoorsy.
Stockholm's highlights
On this tour, you’ll get to see some of the city’s most popular highlights, including the Vasa Museum, the Royal Palace and the City Hall. At Vasa Museum you will get to marvel at the remnants of a wreck which lay at the bottom of the ocean for some 333 years. Next, you’ll breathe in the fresh air as you wander down hidden alleyways between medieval buildings in Gamla Stan (the old town). Pop into the Royal Palace of Stockholm and see the state apartments. Have a proper introduction to the Swedish Royal family, pass by the cathedral, and discover the historic Stortorget and Mårten Trotzigs Gränd alleyways.
