For four nights you’ll be staying in this stunning eco-hotel, deep in the forests of Northern Sweden

Fresh, certified organic dishes sourced from local hunters, farms and foragers… straight from the land to your table.

Really root yourself in nature and get-off-grid with an overnight dog sledding adventure.

For centuries, people in the Arctic have relied on dog sleds as their main form of transportation. During this trip you’ll not only have the opportunity to drive your own team of dogs and learn more about these incredible animals, but in the evening you’ll really embrace the wilderness around you with a night in a rustic cabin.

The Alaskan huskies that pull the sleds are the elite marathon runners of the dog world, so you’re in good hands (paws) as you speed across the snow!

Backcountry skiing is exactly what it sounds like, exploring untouched, unmarked terrain, whilst on skis. With a nature guide leading the way, you’ll learn to ski through frozen forests and snowy plains, cutting your own tracks as you go.

With touring skis on, you’ll soon master the glide and be ready to see what lies beyond the hotel grounds . ‘Skins’ can also be added to the bottom of your skis to add extra traction on those uphill climbs, making the trip easier on your body.

Snowshoeing is as easy as walking, because essentially, it is. The only difference is that you’ll have snowshoes on, to spread your weight and make sure you don’t sink in the deep snow as you head into the wilderness.

Snowshoeing has been around for over 6000 years and is the perfect entry into winter activities. The boost from the snowshoes means you can easily hike on more difficult snowy terrains. You’ll get the opportunity to try this out for yourself with a day hike from the eco-hotel, as well as a possible night time hike once you reach the wilderness cabin.

Developed in the early 20th century, the snowmobile helped keep communities connected during the winter thanks to its speed and the distances it can cover. Now it’s not only a vital mode of transport for otherwise isolated communities, it’s also really fun too.

Whizz through snowy landscapes, covering ground as you venture into the wilds of Lapland. Anyone with a driving licence can have a go, but as each snowmobile seats two, those who haven’t passed their test also get to join in the ride!

It might seem a little strange to think of taking a cold bath in the freezing temperatures of the arctic, but after a full day out on the snow, this is exactly what you’ll need to soothe sore muscles and relax..

The heat from the sauna and the hot tub instantly melt away any tension, whilst the ice bath gives a jolt of adrenaline. It’s the perfect balance between deep relaxation and an energising boost, leaving you refreshed and ready to go for the next day.

Welcome to Sweden! After a one hour transfer from Umea to our hotel, we’ll check-in, settle down and enjoy a 3 course meal - the perfect way to meet the new faces on your trip!

After a hearty breakfast, you’ll be welcomed properly to the hotel and issued with your winter clothing. In the afternoon you’ll pull on your skis for a two hour back country ski tour, followed by a delicious dinner. It’s then time for the spa, complete with a sauna and ice bathing, for those that want a true Swedish experience.

Today we’ll be strapping on the snowshoes and heading out into the wilderness to explore the surrounding area. During the day trip we’ll have lunch out on the trails around a fire.

Today is a mix of adrenaline and endurance! In the morning we’ll be jumping on our snowmobiles for three hours of speeding through the snowy countryside, taking it in turns to drive and just enjoy the ride. After lunch we’ll have downtime to explore the hotel complex and relax in preparation for our dog sledding expedition tomorrow!

Today’s the day! After lunch we’ll be driven to the husky kennels to meet our four-legged companions. Learn how to drive your pup-powered sled safely, then get to know your team before we set off!

With rest stops along the way for coffee and fika, we’ll finally reach the wilderness cabin where we’ll spend the night. Help settle your dogs down, then the evening is yours to relax or head out on snowshoes to explore the surrounding area.

After breakfast at the wilderness cabin, we’ll drive through stunning landscapes with our dedicated dog team as we make our way back to the kennels. Then we’ll say goodbye to our good boys (and girls)!

This evening we’ll stay in a hotel in Umea and have our farewell dinner at a local restaurant.

After a snow-filled week of winter activities, making new friends and a dog sled trip we’ll never forget, it’s time to head back to the airport.
