Swedish Lapland

Swedish Lapland: Europe’s last remaining wilderness area, home to Europe’s only indigenous people, the Sami, and one of the best places to see the Northern Lights. Why not enjoy your next holiday in Swedish Lapland? It’s a fantastic place for a host of winter activities and for Northern Lights sightings.

A husky sledding safari, a visit to the world-famous ICEHOTEL, an overnight stay in a real igloo, a cross-country ski, a hunt for the Northern Lights: whatever type of holiday you’re searching for, you’ll find it in Swedish Lapland. A winter wonderland, glistening with ice and snow, located in the far north of Sweden and within the Arctic Circle, this is one of Europe’s last great wildernesses with an outdoor adventure for every type of traveller. You’ll have chance to discover the local culture too: come face-to-face with the Sámi people - Europe’s only official indigenous tribe, which has inhabited the region for centuries.  

Whether you opt for a Northern Lights excursion, a snow-shoeing adventure across pristine landscapes or wish to journey into the region’s ancient history, Swedish Lapland provides an exclusive, extraordinary holiday experience.
