Overview
This 4-night winter break is based in the beautiful landscapes surrounding Lulea in Swedish Lapland. Situated just below the Arctic Circle, the area comprises an archipelago of over 1,300 islands, vast woodland and river valleys offering the perfect setting for a range of thrilling activities and aurora viewing. Stay at Brandon Lodge on the edge of the frozen sea before heading inland for a night at the unforgettable Treehotel.
NEW! Direct flights between Stanstead Airport and Lulea for winter 2020-21.
The first three nights of your adventure are at Brandon Lodge in the Lulea Archipelago, a vast landscape of snow and ice spanning across the frozen Gulf of Bothnia to the distant horizon. Here you'll have a chance to explore the spectacular landscape on three included activities - husky sledding, snowmobiling in the forest and a northern lights sled tour.
For your final night, you will be transferred to the small village of Harads and the Treehotel. This unique property is the inspiration of Kent and Britta Lindvall the offers seven individually themed tree rooms. When you arrive, you first check-in at the Guesthouse, a cosy lodge where the fantastic home cooked meals are served. Then it's a few minutes walk through the forest to your tree room for the night.
Extend your stay
There are several special extras and activities which can be added to enhance your stay, so why not extend your time here and try a different tree room for the second or even third night!
