Lapland Adventure & The Icehotel

7 Days - from $3,330.00

Experience a night in the world famous Ice Hotel Dogsledding along silent forest trails Chance to see spectacular Northern Lights
Deep inside the Arctic Circle in Swedish Lapland sits the peaceful hamlet of Lappeasuando. From here all that lies ahead is a land characterised by deep forests, frozen lakes and the extraordinary Northern Lights. Our base is ideally located to explore this surrounding wilderness, with a week packed full of activities. With our guides we spend two days learning to drive the dogsleds, build an igloo, and break trails through fresh powder on snowshoes. The week then culminates with a memorable night in the magical Icehotel. Born fourteen years ago out of an igloo housing artworks, the crystal-clear ice of the nearby River Torne has since then provided a spectacularly unique design every year. A night here is the perfect end to a truly unforgettable week.
