Aurora Safari in Sweden Lapland Tour Package (5 Nights / 6 Days)

This morning, explore the magical world of ice sculpting for yourself with an introductory class. Working with your hands completely absorbs you. It's relaxing and intense at once. The guide begins the class by giving you some background about working with ice, and an introduction to the tools.

Each sculptor apprentice is then given a block and chisel and off you go!

In the early afternoon, head outside for a Dogsledding adventure. Touring with a dog and sled through the pristine forest and over frozen rivers provides a dream-like feeling. You’re side by side with nature and we promise you an unforgettable experience. The tour begins at ICEHOTEL where your guide will provide you with warm clothing, gloves and hat. After that a safety briefing and instructions and then it’s time to go! After an hour of sledding, we’ll pause to enjoy a warm drink in the beautiful wilderness before returning to ICEHOTEL. If you would like to mush your own sled, please let us know as this can be possible.

You will be sleeping in a warm room this evening.

Train journey this morning to Luleå and transfer to Treehotel. Treehotel is located in Harads, near the Lule river. There is a small village of about 600 people close by to wander through. When you arrive at Treehotel, you check in at Britta's Pensionat. Then it's just a short stroll (5 mins) through the beautiful nature to your treeroom. You can either carry your luggage or it can be transported.

When you are ready, you have a guided tour of the Treehotel included. Your accommodation for the night will be in The Cabin, The Bird’s Nest, The Blue Cone, The UFO or The Mirror Cube. The Dragonfly room is available for a supplement. Once you have settled in, head to the small TreeSauna for a 2 hour steam session.

From your Treehotel's room you get a fantastic view of the Lule River valley, miles of forest and the powerful river. And don't forget that the Treehotel location above the Arctic Circle, away from artificial light makes the camp a perfect spot for watching the Aurora Borealis.
