Life up here isn’t
what you expect.

Life. Unexpected.

The Swedish Arctic is truly a land unto itself. Whether you are hiking the 400 km King’s Trail through the winding rivers and towering peaks of the Swedish Lapland region, heliskiing in the midnight sun, or kayaking among the 1,312 islands of the Luleå archipelago, we promise to take your breath away.

Northern Sweden is also home to some of the most iconic hotels in the world, including the Tree Hotel’s feats of architecture that welcome you to slumber meters above the ground in the Swedish forest; the Arctic Bath, whose rooms are literally floating entirely on water; or the Ice Hotel, a mirage that awakens each winter and melts each summer – resurrecting anew each year.

Or explore the rich heritage of the Sámi, traditionally reindeer herding peoples indigenous to Northern Europe. Whatever your interests, each season will bring you something unforgettable to explore.
