TreeHotel and Lulea Experience

3 nights from £695 per person

Tours

Scandinavia comes into it’s own in winter and no truer word can be said of Swedish Lapland which is transformed during the winter months into an arctic wilderness with a magical landscape.

The real appeal of Lulea lies in its location on the Gulf of Bothnia. Surrounded by an archipelago of more than 1000 islands, which in the winter months become icebound and the locals swop boats for huskies, snowmobiles, icebreakers and hovercrafts. Even carving out roads on the frozen sea.

For those wanting to combine their Lapland adventure with culture & history will have plenty to enjoy. Lulea itself has over 100 restaurants and café’s and boasts a wide variety of music, theatre and sporting events. You have the preserved church town of Gammelstad - inscribed on UNESCO’s World Heritage List. Compare this to the Treehotel, which is the ultimate display of modern design and ingenuity nestled deep in a Swedish forest.

This 4-day itinerary gives you the opportunity to add on activities as you wish and acquaint yourself with the best the area has to offer.

Day 2: Lulea

Day at leisure to choose your optional activities. Luleå Archipelago is situated along the coastline that stretches from the Västerbotten border in the south to the Finish border in the northeast. With over 700 islands, it is one of the most picturesque archipelagos in the country, offering rich and varied plant and bird life and in winter it is a frozen  landscape perfect for snowmobile and dogsledding tours and of course ice fishing. There is even a hovercraft experience out across the ice in winter and spring.

On clear evening and night keep a look out into the skies to the north of Luleå. With luck you will see the beautiful skimmer of the colorful Northern Lights.
