NEW! SNOWMOBILE ADVENTURE
5 DAYS CABIN/LODGE SNOWMOBILING IN THE ARCTIC CIRCLE If you want to experience the excitement and exhilaration of traversing snowy landscapes by snowmobile then this is the trip for you! Hidden away in the north-western tip of Swedish Lapland, on the border with Norway, lies a range of mountains that keeps good snow cover until the end of May, allowing us to enjoy the full range of winter activities on offer while benefiting from longer days and warmer weather. Snowmobiling in the Mountains Upon arrival we waste no time getting fitted out into our winter gear, jumping on the snowmobiles and heading up into the mountains and our welcome retreat for the evening, Lakta Mountain Station. The following day we begin our explorations of the ice and snow covered peaks, stopping en route to try our hand at ice fishing. If we are lucky enough to catch something, our guide can cook it over an open fire, although we do bring extra food just in case! Taking to our snowmobiles once more, we speed across the snow to our lodge that will be our base over the coming days. Snowshoeing and Dogsledding The following days are left free for you to enjoy the multitude of activities that are available here (all optional). If you're hooked on snowmobiling then you can head off into the mountains again, or, if you prefer something totally different but equally exhilarating, then why not try guiding your own team of husky dogs? There's also the chance to try cross-country skiing and snowshoeing giving you the opportunity to discover this pristine, snow-covered landscape at a more leisurely pace.
