Overlooking the frozen sea and snow-covered islands of the beautiful Luleå Archipelago, Brändön Lodge - part of the long-established Brändö Adventure Camp - is a perfect winter playground, where guests can indulge in an array of exciting excursions from husky safaris to guided snowmobile adventures. Comprising just 15 cosy two-bedroom cabins with en suite bathrooms and small private kitchen, the lodge is the perfect base for exploring the unique frozen wilderness of Swedish Lapland. This four-day mini break includes a husky safari and snowmobile tour across the pack ice of the archipelago, which freezes up to a metre thick during winter. Each evening you'll enjoy a sumptuous three-course dinner and a relaxing soak in the sauna, which overlooks the frozen sea.
