Today do what is simply one of the best snowmobile trips available in Lapland – a 4 hour adventure on the frozen seas in the Luleå Archipelago!
Along the way the guide Patrick Carlman will tell you about the surroundings and about life in the northern wilderness. Stop for hot drinks and, depending on conditions, a chance at ice fishing. Your destination is the island of Brändöskär in the outermost archipelago, an idyllic fishing village dating from the 17th century. From here you can look out over the frozen Bothnian Bay with its seemingly endless fields of pack ice and snow. Some years the blue ice piles up into formations about 10 metres high – a mighty experience!
Make a lunch stop on the island of Hindersön. This will either be at Jopikgården, a small lodge on the island or on an outdoor BBQ overlooking the frozen seas. After lunch head back to the lodge over a vast expanse of frozen ice. A truly amazing experience!
This evening relax in a traditional Swedish Sauna overlooking the frozen sea before enjoying a 3 course dinner. Spend the rest of the evening by the fireplace or venture outside in search of the dancing lights.
Note: The snowmobile cost is based on 2 people sharing. If you want to have the freedom of driving your won snowmobile during the whole day then please add in £120 to your budget plans.
