Stay at two of Scandinavia’s most iconic and celebrated hotels – the ICEHOTEL and Treehotel – on

a memorable tour of Swedish Lapland, including a scenic train ride from Kiruna to Luleå and a

fabulous choice of winter activities. This trip has been designed to serve you the highlights of

Aurora watching in far northern Sweden, coupled with staying at some of the most amazing

accommodation you will ever encounter.

Day 1: Arrive into Kiruna and transfer to the ICEHOTEL

Start Point

Kiruna Airport,

Kiruna Airport (KRN), Flygfältsvägen, Kiruna, Norrbotten

981 41, Sweden

On arrival in Kiruna you will be brought to Jukkasjärvi, and your accommodation at the ICEHOTEL.

Wander around the ICEHOTEL - check out all the different art suites. Choose between two

restaurants - the ICE Restaurant with an "Ice Menu" or the Old Homestead with a more traditional

feel.

In the evening you can enjoy a drink in the uber-cool icebar before settling into your snow room at

the ICEHOTEL. Dinner is also included this evening.

Inside ICEHOTEL, the temperature is never colder than -5 °C to -8 °C, regardless of how cold it

may be outside. Dress in warm thermal underwear, put on a hat and slip into the cozy sleeping

bag. You are awakened in the morning with a cup of hot lingonberry juice at your bedside.

Breakfast buffet, guided tour of the hotel, storage locker, WiFi, morning sauna and towels are

included in your stay.

 

Day 2: Ice sculpturing and Dogsledding safari at the ICEHOTEL

This morning, explore the magical world of ice sculpting for yourself with an introductory class.

Working with your hands completely absorbs you. It's relaxing and intense at once. The guide

begins the class by giving you some background about working with ice, and an introduction to the

tools.

Each sculptor apprentice is then given a block and chisel and off you go!

In the early afternoon, head outside for a Dogsledding adventure. Touring with a dog and sled

through the pristine forest and over frozen rivers provides a dream-like feeling. You’re side by side

with nature and we promise you an unforgettable experience. The tour begins at ICEHOTEL where

your guide will provide you with warm clothing, gloves and hat. After that a safety briefing and

instructions and then it’s time to go! After an hour of sledding, we’ll pause to enjoy a warm drink in

the beautiful wilderness before returning to ICEHOTEL. If you would like to mush your own sled,

please let us know as this can be possible.

You will be sleeping in a warm room this evening.

Day 3: Wake up surrounded by ice and then train journey to Luleå and

The Treehotel Train journey this morning to Luleå and transfer to Treehotel. Treehotel is located in Harads, near

the Lule river. There is a small village of about 600 people close by to wander through. When you

arrive at Treehotel, you check in at Britta's Pensionat. Then it's just a short stroll (5 mins) through

the beautiful nature to your treeroom. You can either carry your luggage or it can be transported.

When you are ready, you have a guided tour of the Treehotel included. Your accommodation for the

night will be in The Cabin, The Bird’s Nest, The Blue Cone, The UFO or The Mirror Cube. The

Dragonfly room is available for a supplement. Once you have settled in, head to the small

TreeSauna for a 2 hour steam session.

From your Treehotel's room you get a fantastic view of the Lule River valley, miles of forest and the

powerful river. And don't forget that the Treehotel location above the Arctic Circle, away from

artificial light makes the camp a perfect spot for watching the Aurora Borealis.
