Best of Lapland - Lapland Holidays
Swedish Lapland is widely recognised as one of the best winter holiday destinations, with the perfect combination of innovation, design, wilderness and genuine small scale winter activities. ICEHOTEL and Treehotel are leading the way in new building techniques, inventing new ways to build in ice and in the treetops, attracting guests from across the globe, yet keeping the environment at the top of the agenda.
Snowmobile, sami and husky tours allow you to look at the everyday life of the local people and sami reindeer herders. Take a step into the wilderness to listen to natures' voice and experience Europe's Last Wilderness.

Itinerary
Day 1
Flight between Stockholm and Luleå. Arrive in Luleå where you will be met by a representative from Treehotel. Approx. 1hr transfer from the airport to Treehotel. The journey to Treehotel takes you along the Luleå River valley, which is the base for some of the available activities at Treehotel. Check in to your room at Treehotel. You may feel your room swaying gently in the breeze - all part of the Treehotel experience.
Breakfast is served at Britta's pensionat (part of Treehotel) and with a full range of winter activities to choose from, including cultural experiences and husky excursions you will find plenty to keep you occupied.
Day 2
After breakfast you will have some time to explore the village of Harads before your transfer to the train stn (approx 30 min transfer) for your train to Kiruna and Jukkasjärvi, home of ICE HOTEL. The train line exists as this is one of the worlds most important iron ore trade routes. Kiruna is home to the worlds largest underground mine.
At Kiruna train station you will be met by an ICE HOTEL representative. Your transfer to ICEHOTEL takes just 20mins. Check in to ICEHOTEL (room options) and sleep in warmth as your bed is lined with a reindeer skin and you will sleep in sleeping bags specifically designed for ICE HOTEL.
Day 3
You will be woken with a hot cup of lingon berry juice at your bedside. Enjoy a morning sauna and a relaxing breakfast before departing on your overnight wilderness tour. One of the best ways to explore Swedish Lapland and also offers some of the best chances to see the Northern Lights. You decide whether it's by modern snowmobile or more traditional husky sled.
Snowmobiles are now an essential part of life in Lapland and used by the locals as an essential form of transport, enjoyment and in the case of the Sami, to herd reindeer. Husky dogs take on a more 'back to basics' role with a more hands on and natural approach to exploring the vast expanses of white Lapland Wilderness.
Day 4
After a wilderness breakfast at the wilderness log cabins there is a little more time to enjoy the Lapland countryside before returning to ICEHOTEL. Check in to your spacious and comfortable warm accommodation at ICE HOTEL and indulge in some of our wide ranging winter activities at ICE HOTEL.
