Beyond the Icehotel, Tree Hotel, and Arctic Bath lies the Aurora Safari Camp - a secret base nestled in the forests of Swedish Lapland. In winter, the river freezes, making it ideal for a number of activities and aurora spotting.
Here you will stay in a luxury tipi in an all-inclusive experience, with all meals and some activities included. This is a suggested package carefully crafted together for you but one which is equally possible to adjust or upgrade to suit your requirements.

Day by Day Itinerary
Day 1
Arrive into Lulea where you will be met by your transfer and taken off into the winter wonderland of Lulea and beyond. You will arrive at you new ‘aurora base’ for the next three nights where you will get to meet the team, get kitted out in your winter clothing and explore your new surroundings. Enjoy a relaxing sauna and a delicious meal as you settle into this arctic paradise.
Day 2
Today you will embark on an immersive full day guided snowmobile excursion through the enchanting landscapes of the Råne River Valley. Following a comprehensive snowmobile handling session you will then venture out through dense forests, across frozen lakes and rivers, and ascend to the mountain peaks. Along the way, frequent stops offer insightful lessons on the rich essence of Swedish Lapland: its historical significance, natural wonders, seasonal nuances, and in-depth knowledge about snow and ice conditions. You will stop for lunch along the way.
This is an epic day trip out and when you return you can spend some time relaxing in the sauna and getting ready for a delicious dinner.
Day 3
In the morning you will head out on your own sled through a beautiful white landscape and enjoy the scenery and power of the dogs. Half-way through the journey you will stop for a tasty outdoor lunch from around the campfire and cuddle the hard-working huskies.
Then back at the camp, unleash your creative side by participating in an ice sculpting class that involves using large blocks of ice sourced from the nearby river, along with professional tools. Your guide will provide initial guidance, and then it is up to you to decide how long you want to work on your creations.
In the evening you will have your final dinner at the property whilst the guides keep an eye out for the aurora.
Day 4
In the morning you will be transferred back to the airport. Your trip doesn’t have to end here though, there are plenty of other places to explore and experience in this part of Swedish Lapland. You might even want to combine it with a stay in the country’s capital city – just speak to one of our sales team to assist you with some ideas on what you can do.
Where You'll Stay
Aurora Safari Camp
Founded in 2013 by photographer Fredrik Broman and safari specialist Jonas Gejke, Aurora Safari Camp stands as the world’s inaugural glamping site designed to embrace the Arctic winter conditions. Nestled adjacent to the expansive frozen Lake Degerselet, a fragment smaller than Manhattan Island, the camp is inspired by Kenya’s secluded bush camp model but caters to the unpredictable Arctic climate. Accessible through Luleå airport or Boden C train station, the camp offers private guided transfers through the enchanting forest, with the option of a winter arrival via snowmobile sleigh.
There are three winter room options available. Two heated Lapland Cone rooms with en-suite, glass roof and panoramic windows, similar heated Tipi Cabins with en-suite
Enjoy a wide range of Arctic winter activities, workshops or day trips from the camp, before relaxing in the sauna which will leave you feeling rejuvenated and recharged.

This was a bucket list trip. The company are specialists and I’ve valued their advice. Everything from the when to go for the best opportunity to see the lights and equipment needed and provided.Our activities included, the Ice Hotel, night photo shoot, snowmobiling, guided walk and the sky station meal. All excellent and well run by knowledgeable experts and guides. The Abisko Lodge is warm comfortable and relaxing the food is excellent and the staff welcoming, friendly and very helpful. I would highly recommend if you’re looking for a different and exciting experience.

We had the most fabulous time and everything worked like clockwork. The guides were extremely knowledgeable and extremely competent. The food was excellent and the experiences, especially Husky Homes, were brilliant. We saw the aurora lights at the mountain top in Abisko where the photography tour will be an enduring memory of a wonderful time. I would very much recommend Weekend a la Carte as a proficient tour operator.
Mark Nicholson
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
David Watson-Cammock
Overall very good. Staff excellent and helpful. Accomodation basic but was what we expected. Tour guides very good (nature walks, snow mobiles, dog sleighs). Sky station disappointing as we never got to go up due to the weather and this seem to be a recurring feature.The alternative walk at night and meal was a let down as a result.Overall would recommend to others.
John Kirby
We enjoyed both the hotels that were arranged by weekend a la Carte Aurora nights. The Porsmork trip was very enjoyable, both guides were fantastic and informative.
The Northern Light hunt trip out of Reykjavik with Superjeep was an adventure and we got to see the lights, worth braving the cold at -6.
David Rogers
Dear Abigail, We have safely returned from Iceland and we wanted to say a huge and sincere thank you for all the plans that you put into place to make this one of the most memorable holidays we have ever had. It was simply beautiful each and every day. The cabin was idyllic and so cosy and warm. The tour guides were so knowledgeable and friendly and the scenery was breathtaking. All the arrangements worked so well and we will remember the trip for a long time to come.
Thank you once again.
Gillian Griffiths
An excellent holiday which was enjoyed by all. The super jeep ride on the second day to the Eyjafjallajokull volcano was memorable and thanks to our driver Margaret who proved to be a really good guide. We thoroughly enjoyed the facilities in the hotel Ranga. The staff were very helpful and we managed to see the Northern Lights. The Hotel Reykjavik Centrum was very nice with amazingly helpful staff. All in all, the whole holiday was brilliant.
Brian Coombs
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.
