The Tree Hotel and Northern Lights Quest

On arrival in Lulea, Swedish Lapland, a guide will meet you and provide a transfer to the Tree Hotel. Tonight you will be staying at the famous Tre Hotel, in the wonderful Mirrorcube room. This stunning creation us suspended in the treetops, and is almost invisible with the forest blending in on the reflective sides of the mirrored cube, with views across the treetops, you are perfectly placed to see this sunset each day.

After breakfast you will head out to spend the day learning about mushing before taking your team of dogs out into the wilderness. You will get to take it in turns with your team alternating between being the musher and you, as you enjoy an exhilarating ride through this winter wonderland. After your dog sledding adventure,  you will stop for lunch before heading back to the Tree Hotel for your second night.

After breakfast you will be driven to Boden Train Station to catch the train that takes you across the Arctic Circle to Abisko. This five-hour journey takes you through one of Europe’s last great wilderness areas, as you travel past some of the most beautiful winter landscapes.

On arrival in Abisko there is a short walk to the Lodge where you will be met by Mina and Dick Johansson, your hosts, who run a really warm and friendly lodge.

This evening, enjoy the excellent cuisine at Mountain Lodge as you partake in their traditional Lappish menu which includes Reindeer, Arctic Char and Cloudberries – three of the unique ingredients to the area. The only thing that can interrupt your evening is the Aurora Call.

Abisko Mountain Lodge is in a fantastic location for Northern Lights viewing so if they are visible you may be tempted to step out the door and gaze skywards! There is also the opportunity to wander out for a night walk in one of the best locations on earth for aurora watching.

Abisko National Park is sandwiched between picturesque mountains and Lake Tornetrask, one of Sweden’s largest lakes and which freezes during winter. The team at Abisko Mountain Lodge will provide information on trails you can explore. Alternatively from mid Feb – mid March you can take the chairlift up mount Nujola to view the spectacular landscapes from 300 meters up!

In the evening you will head out on the Ultimate Aurora Photography Tour giving the perfect opportunity to learn about taking photos of the Northern Lights, and then go out chasing them. This is the perfect last chance to try and see the Aurora.

After breakfast you will take your transfer to the airport in time for your flight home at the end of your action-packed northern lights holiday to Abisko. Alternatively, why not stay a night at the Icehotel or enjoy a city break in Stockholm?
