A week of Lapland winter with extra everything

The Great Winter Adventure

The Great Winter Adventure

This is the perfect package if you want to experience a solid subarctic winter and almost a full week loaded with adventurous activities. Try driving a snow mobile and a dog sled pulled by huskies. See the Aurora Borealis and learn how to photograph the magic. Try ice fishing and if you dare, wild swimming in an ice wake. Learn about reindeer herding from the indigenous Sami people.

In our Great Winter Adventure, you get to dive deep into the northern Swedish winter lifestyle, culture and history. For a week you get to partake in adventures, but there’s also time to relax get grounded. In addition, your chances of hitting the right activity on the right day, such as the Aurora Borealis, are greater when you stay a little longer.

Based out of Granö Beckasin, we take you out into the wilderness, to the frozen river and the deep forests. Our skilled guides will teach you everything from building a fire on the ice, to tracking wild game and handling a dog sled like a musher on your own. You will gain knowledge and memories for life. All our tours are small scale, with local sustainability and growth as the primary focus.

This package is perfect if you are looking for a complete Lapland winter experience. Crisp snow, starry nights, dancing northern lights, ancient traditions, weathered cheeks, sweaty sauna moments and crazy ice water dips. We cannot wait to guide you through this unique once-in-a-lifetime stay.
