Wild Sweden
This part of Lapland is wild and true - a snow-clad expansive landscape ranging from mountains and frozen lakes to ancient boreal forests and gushing rivers. We head to Jokkmokk, a small outpost town just north of the Arctic circle with deep Sámi roots. The allure of the Aurora Borealis is what brings many of us this far north. As long as the weather is clear, we venture out each evening gazing at the dark night sky hoping to marvel at this glorious dance of the heavens. Dog sledding is an ancient way of moving across snow and ice. We spend a magical morning traversing the frozen landscape with our impressive and beautiful husky companions. The surrounding valleys are home to some fascinating wild animals such as Europe's largest moose and herds of reindeer, and this is a fantastic opportunity to get close to and photograph these in their natural habitat. For two nights, we leave our little town behind and aim further north for something truly special. Our good friend Lennart in the Unna Tjerusj Sámi community welcomes us as guests at his tented camp, remotely located in the Laponia Unesco World heritage region. We get the chance to explore the surrounding forests and the frozen lake on skis or snowshoes or simply relax and enjoy the tranquil beauty of winter in the Arctic circle. The Plan: Spend two nights at a tented camp far into the wild Watch and photograph reindeer and moose closely in a snowy landscape Dog sled with huskies across frozen lakes and through snowy forests Try Sámi specialities like Arctic Char, Gáhkku and Souvas Join a small group of likeminded people with a local guide

Suggested Itinerary

Arrive in Luela - Swedish Lapland
Arrive in Luleå by night train or a short flight from Stockholm. Since there will be no set activities on this first day you can arrive with any flight or train. We have booked a room for you at Hotell Savoy in central Luleå, a pretty little town on the coast of Northern Sweden. The hotel is a 5 minutes walk from the train station and if you arrive at the airport it will be a 20 minutes shuttle bus or a taxi. On this first day, you will have time to land at your own pace. The hotel has a small but nice spa with saunas and swirl pools where you can easily relax for a couple of hours. And during the evening you can go for a dinner at any of the town’s many restaurants. Your guide will arrive tomorrow.
