Northern stopover in Lulea

Bundle up, the adventure begins today in the heart of Lapland's pristine landscapes! You'll embark on a 4-hour snowshoe hike with expert guides. Far from the beaten track, you'll venture into silent, frost-bound forests, where the crunch of snow beneath your feet will be your only guide. In the midst of this wilderness, you'll share a traditional lunch around an open-air campfire —an authentic and heartwarming Nordic experience that warms both body and soul.

After the exertion, return to the hotel for a well-deserved moment of relaxation.

If the sky is clear and there's plenty of solar activity, you don't need to go far to try and catch a glimpse of the Northern Lights. Here are the best spots accessible on foot from the center of Luleå:

1. The frozen sea ice (Isbanan): In winter, the sea surrounding the peninsula in the city center freezes completely. Descend onto the ice track ( Isbanan ) on the north side ( Norra Hamn ). By moving a little further from the city's waterfront, you'll reduce light pollution and enjoy a completely unobstructed view to the north, ideal for photography.
2. Gültzauudden Park: Located at the northwestern tip of the city center, this wooded park extends into the water. Its snow-covered beaches offer a very dark natural setting, perfect for escaping artificial lights while remaining in the city center.
3. The heights of the church of Örnäset: A little further east of the sky.

Today, you temporarily leave the modern world to experience an extraordinary cultural immersion. It is a day dedicated to sharing, history, and respect for nature.

You will meet your Sámi hosts, the indigenous people of the Arctic. At the heart of their winter camp, you will share their daily life and discover the vital importance of reindeer herding in their culture. You will have the unique privilege of getting close to these iconic animals of the Far North, hand-feeding them, and learning more about their way of life and their adaptation to the extreme climate.

Free afternoon in Lulea.

Today, get ready to experience one of the most intense and memorable moments of your stay! You're going on a 4-hour dog sledding excursion .

From the moment you arrive at the kennel, the excitement is palpable: the huskies, eager to run, greet you with their joyful barks. After the safety instructions and a quick introduction to driving the sled, silence suddenly falls within the first few meters. It's the signal to depart.

Glide at full speed through snow-covered pine forests and across the vast white expanses of frozen lakes. Carried by the power and infectious energy of your dog sled team, you will experience a feeling of absolute freedom in perfect harmony with the Arctic nature.

Halfway through your journey, a well-deserved break awaits. You'll share a traditional outdoor lunch , cooked over a wood fire in a trapper's camp. It's the perfect opportunity to warm up, share your impressions with your guide, and enjoy some quality time cuddling with your loyal four-legged companions.

Back at the hotel in the late afternoon, with stars in our eyes and unforgettable memories etched in our minds.

All good things must come to an end. This morning, after a final breakfast with Scandinavian flavors, it's time to pack your suitcases, still fresh from the polar air.

Your private transfer will be waiting for you in front of the hotel to take you comfortably to Luleå Airport, in perfect synchronization with your return flight.
