The Experience
During the winter half you will be met by snow white mountains, darkness, cold, the mythical northern light but also an incredible warmth and hospitality. During the mid winter the temperature sometimes creeps down to – 35 degrees Celsius in northern Sweden. In these extreme conditions the indigenous people of Europe, the Sami people live. When you visit us you will participate in the traditional work of reindeer husbandry, a way of life which is totally steered by the forces of nature and the weather. You will meet Sami people who on a daily basis live in the wilderness and through this they possess an enormous knowledge of nature. A helicopter will take you directly into the mountains where you with the help of snowmobiles will travel into the white vastness of winter. Under the northern light, which is also called the midnight sun, you will try ice fishing. You will also ski smaller distances, if you wish.

You will travel from the forest areas to mile wide stretches of white vastness. You will land on the mountain border and from there travel with snow mobile into an area without roads. Perhaps we will meet one of the great five predators who live in northern Sweden. The day is ended with delicious food and winter sauna.
