Experience the Magic of Abisko

Dreaming of witnessing the magical dance of the Northern Lights? Yearning for a unique winter escape that combines luxury with adventure? Combine winter activities and stay in the Icehotel and experience the Abisko Retreat in Swedish Lapland. This meticulously crafted tour promises an unforgettable journey into a winter wonderland, blending the artistry of the Icehotel with the natural beauty of Abisko National Park.

A Tale of Two Worlds: Icehotel and Abisko

This isn’t your average holiday; it’s an immersion into two distinct yet equally captivating worlds. Your adventure begins with a night at the legendary Icehotel, a structure of ice and snow rebuilt each year with ice harvested from the Torne River. Sleep in a Kamos superior room, surrounded by intricate ice sculptures immersed in the serene silence of this frozen masterpiece. The Icehotel isn’t just about accommodation; it’s an art experience, complete with an ice bar where you can sip cocktails in glasses made of ice.

Following your night in the Icehotel, you’ll journey to Abisko Mountain Lodge for a three-night stay. This welcoming lodge offers a cosy contrast to the icy elegance of the Icehotel, with personal service and cuisine centered around raw, local ingredients. Abisko is renowned for its exceptional Northern Lights viewing opportunities, nestled within a national park that boasts a unique microclimate.

Adventures Under the Arctic Sky

This Aurora Nights tour is packed with exhilarating activities designed to showcase the best of Swedish Lapland. Get your adrenaline pumping with a snowmobiling adventure through snow-covered landscapes and enjoy the thrill of rushing through the forests and snowmobiling on frozen lakes. Experience the thrill of mushing your own team of huskies on a dog sledding excursion. For a more tranquil experience, embark on a morning hike in Abisko National Park, soaking in the breathtaking scenery.

Of course, the highlight of any trip to Abisko is the chance to witness the Northern Lights. The tour includes an Aurora photo adventure, where you’ll learn how to capture stunning images of this natural phenomenon, and for an unparalleled viewing experience, you’ll enjoy a Northern Lights dinner at the Aurora Sky Station, complete with private transfers. This mountaintop location offers panoramic views of the Arctic sky, far from any light pollution, maximising your chances of seeing the aurora borealis in all its glory.
