Tour Itinerary:
Day 1: Welcome to Swedish Lapland
Located on an Island on the coast of Swedish Lapland is Brandon Lodge. The camp overlooks the frozen sea and islands of the Luleå archipelago. Our main building is a log cabin that includes restaurant and meetings rooms and a lounge and relax area. Surrounding the log cabin are 15 cabins facing towards the sea. Each cabin has been recently renovated during 2013 and includes one bathroom, two bedrooms with two single beds in each room, a lounge room and a front-facing covered porch. Winter clothing is provided for all guests and Brändön Lodge is also the departure point for a range of fantastic activities.
Upon arrival in Luleaa Airport, you will be transferred to Brandon Lodge, a small lodge located on a small island, in the archipelago of Swedish Lapland. The archipelago is made up of more than 1,300 islands and only has 100 inhabitants - making it a true wilderness experience for visitors of all ages. Check-in at Brandon Lodge in your own cabin and enjoy the rest of your day getting acquainted with the local area. You will also enjoy half-board (breakfast and dinner) throughout your stay.
Day 2: Husky Sledding & Northern Lights Snowshoe Walk
Breakfast and enjoy your morning before you set out on your first Lappish adventure - dogsledding! At Brändön and Pine Bay Lodge, there's a nearby husky kennel and a husky team that will take you on a fantastic adventure. You and a partner will learn to take control of a husky team and drive them on a forest and lake trail. The experience is 2 hours in total and it is sure to leave you with some fantastic memories. Note that the price includes the 17 km transfer from Pine Bay to the husky farm and back to Pine Bay after the tour.
In the afternoon, you can explore more of the area on your own or simply relax in front of the fireplace with your favourite book before dinner is served in the restaurant. Tonight you will go out on a magical Northern Lights snowshoe walk with your local guide. Snow shoes have been used for thousands of years in winter conditions and they really make life easier when the snow cover is thick. Instead of sinking to the hips with every step taken, the snowshoes allow the user to tread on the surface and make otherwise inaccessible terrain explorable. Walking through the Brändö forests, the experienced guide will describe the surroundings and, if conditions are right, the Northern Lights may be spotted! On the way, there will be a break during which the participants will learn how to light a fire in the snow. When this is ready, coffee and tea will be prepared and served. On one tour option, dinner will be prepared outdoors by the guide and enjoyed sitting on reindeer furs under the dark sky. This is as close to nature as you can get.
Day 3: Dinner on Ice
Breakfast and enjoy the day at your own pace. Wind down in the magical wintry nature of Swedish Lapland and enjoy being far away from everyday stress. In the evening, you are in for a truly unique candlelit dinner! The whole meal is enjoyed by the crackling fire in the hut, on a table with a white tablecloth, candelabra and warm plates. You are sitting on reindeer pelts and served good wines and steaming hot coffee. There is also that furry bench closer to the fire, where drinks and coffee are served. This dinner is served on the frozen sea, with the sea-ice as the restaurant-floor and the stars and possibly the Aurora dancing over the sky. Heighten your senses with a unique, heart-warming experience on the frozen sea in Swedish Lapland.
