Itinerary
Sweden: Stockholm, Arctic Wilderness & Northern Lights 10 days
10 days
Sweden
Discover Stockholm’s historic streets and waterways to the forests and frozen lakes of Swedish Lapland on this 10 day journey which reveals two very different sides of Sweden. Begin in the capital, with time to explore Gamla Stan, discover the story of the Vasa and enjoy the city at your own pace. Further north, the landscape changes completely as you venture into the Arctic wilderness, travelling by snowmobile and husky through snow-covered forests and across frozen lakes. Time with the Sami offers an insight into the traditions of the far north, while evenings bring the possibility of Northern Lights. Snowshoeing, cross-country skiing and ice fishing add to the sense of adventure before returning south.
