Snowmobiling, dogsledding, igloo-building, cross-country skiing and a night in the famous Icehotel Deep inside the Arctic Circle in Swedish Lapland lies the magical Icehotel. From the neighbouring village of Kaupinnen and in the vast wilderness areas all around, we enjoy this very special location with a week packed full of activities. This area is characterised by deep forests, frozen lakes and the extraordinary Northern Lights. We spend two days learning to drive our own dogsleds and one day on snowmobiles. We also build an igloo, and try the Nordic art of cross-country skiing. The simple accommodation is a real highlight - cosy wilderness lodges with saunas, your own igloo (optional) and the stunning Icehotel.
TRIP HIGHLIGHT The Northern Lights

The stunning Aurora Borealis are one of nature's most awe inspiring sights. Displays can vary in intensity from a greenish yellow glow moving gently around the sky, to a spectacular multi-coloured show dancing across the heavens. Sightings not only vary in intensity but in duration too, from just minutes to sometimes hours. On a weeklong stay, you have a reasonably high chance of seeing the most spectacular light show on earth.
