Day 1 Luleå

Day 2 Snowshoeing

Today's adventure begins after breakfast where you will be coached in the ancient art of snowhoeing. Snow shoes have been a preferred form of transport in the region for thousands of years. It is an ideal way of traversing across deep snow and allows you to explore otherwise inaccessible terrain. Easy to master, you will soon be following your expert guide into the surrounding Brando forest. A rest stop and wilderness lunch is taken in a Sami tent, sitting on reindeer skins around an open fire. Return to the lodge where the remainder of the day is at leisure. Dinner is served in the lodge.

Day 3 Snowmobile Safari

Today’s adventure is a 2 hour snowmobile safari through the snow covered forests. Adults drive in pairs with children drawn on a sled behind the guide. Stop half way for hot drinks where you can take in the tranquility of the forest and admire some stunning views. Dinner is served in the lodge.

Day 4 Husky & Northern Lights Adventure

Visit a nearby husky kennel. Learn to mush a team of dogs, and then drive 2 per sled on an exciting ride through a forest. Lunch at the lodge. This evening enjoy a Northern Lights snow shoe walk with hot drinks served as you look out for the Aurora.

Day 5 UK

Free time for some last minute snow fun before a return transfer to Luleå airport in time for your flight back to the UK.
