Situated in the remote village of Mårdsel in Swedish Lapland, The Outpost Lodge is a refined sanctuary designed for those seeking both adventure and tranquillity.
The Outpost


Once a modest grocery store, the building has been meticulously transformed into a stylish retreat that blends rustic charm with contemporary comfort. Located just below the Arctic Circle and approximately 90 minutes from Luleå Airport, the lodge offers exclusive access to one of Europe’s most pristine and captivating wilderness areas.
Encircled by the winding Råne River and expansive frozen wetlands, The Outpost Lodge is an exceptional base for winter exploration. Guests can embark on exhilarating snowmobile journeys across vast landscapes and even venture as far as the Arctic Circle itself—a highlight led by expert local guides who share their deep connection to the land.
For those seeking a slower pace, the lodge provides a peaceful refuge from the noise of everyday life. Its remote location, intimate size, and serene setting create an atmosphere of calm and introspection. Indoors, the lodge is warm and welcoming, encouraging rest and relaxation after a day in the snow.
Beyond the comfort of the lodge, the surrounding region offers opportunities for snowshoeing, Nordic skiing, and traditional kick-sledding. Staying in Mårdsel provides a unique cultural immersion; the village is home to only seven permanent residents, and the community embraces guests with heartfelt hospitality and a dedication to authentic, home-cooked meals.
Whether savouring the silence of Arctic nights or venturing into the snowy wilderness, The Outpost Lodge promises an unforgettable escape to the edge of the world, where luxury meets the wild.

Northern lights tour reviews
We booked with Aurora for a short winter break to celebrate an event. We wanted something special and that’s what we got. Clear information was backed up with straightforward booking detail, and we had a super, holiday with no complications.
The holiday exceeded my expectations and I will use Aurora in the future. Thank you!
My wife and I had an awesome and memorable trip to Iceland thanks to Alex at Aurora Nights. Alex tailored the itinerary to exactly what we wanted to see and chose excellent hotels to stay at. We totally enjoyed the city of Reykjavik and the many beautiful waterfalls. He went above and beyond to not only recommend sights to see around the Golden Circle and Ring Road, but also mapped it out so we were prepared to drive through the country during unpredictable weather and road conditions. And we were especially pleased to see the Northern Lights on our visit. Alex was very flexible to make changes to our plans and choosing the wonderful Sky Lagoon to replace our tickets for the Blue Lagoon due to the closure from the volcanic activity. We highly recommend Alex and Aurora Nights.
An amazing trip and excellent service provided by all involved. Great value for money too. Food was excellent. Accommodation was wonderful and the trips booked were outstanding. An amazing trip
Cannot thank this company enough. Our break to Iceland was the second time we’ve let them organise everything for us and once again they didn’t disappoint. Everything ran seamlessly and the organised tours were wonderful. This company knows what they are doing. If you want to experience the geysers, the volcano, the northern lights and all the other exciting things that Iceland has to offer then this is the company to use.
