Flying to Luleå in northern Sweden, you’ll embark on a truly memorable journey, experiencing two icons of Scandinavian travel. You’ll begin with the Treehotel, staying in one of its architect-designed tree-house rooms hidden in the forest. It’s the perfect introduction to life north of the Arctic Circle, with a range of optional excursions that include dog sledding and sleigh rides. Then, after a rail journey to Kiruna, you’ll swap life in the trees for a stay at the world-renowned ICEHOTEL, where a night on ice is accompanied by optional snowmobiling, ice carving and Northern Lights adventures.
