Swedish Lapland
Lapland is renowned for its breathtaking natural phenomena, including the Northern Lights and the Midnight Sun. A special facility, the Aurora Sky Station, was built to provide an exceptional vantage point for observing the unique beauty of the Northern Lights.
The Aurora Sky Station is considered the best place in Sweden to witness this awe-inspiring phenomenon. The optimal time to see the Northern Lights in this region is from October to May, when the nights are longest and darkest.
It is not uncommon to watch the lights dancing above the world’s first and largest hotel made entirely of ice and snow. At Icehotel 365 in Jukkasjärvi, you can book rooms year-round. Even on dark, clear autumn evenings, it’s possible to catch the season’s first glimpses of the Northern Lights.
Active holiday enthusiasts will enjoy the wide range of excursions available in Swedish Lapland, including:
- dog sledding, snowmobiling, snowshoeing,
- ice fishing,
- even riding an icebreaker followed by an exhilarating ice swim,
- for thrill-seekers, we also offer the unique experience of ice driving on a frozen lake.
The Riksgränsen ski resort features slopes open until the end of May, making it a favorite destination for off-piste skiing enthusiasts.
In summer, Lapland offers the magical experience of the polar day, when the sun never sets, and the region remains bathed in light around the clock. The Arctic summer is short but intense, lasting approximately 90 days, creating a one-of-a-kind atmosphere. This unique phenomenon allows for endless activities, such as playing golf or swimming in a lake under the midnight sun.
