7-day summer holiday in Swedish Lapland | Midnight sun, Sámi culture and outdoor adventures from a private lodge

Day 1: Departure for Swedish Lapland

Your adventure begins in northern Sweden. The owners of your accommodation will be waiting for you at the airport and will take you to their estate. From here, you’ll continue to your private lodge in the heart of nature, complete with your own sauna and hot tub. If you want to enjoy yourself to the full straight away, you can book a massage to be held in your own lodge. Privacy guaranteed.

Day 2: Fishing

The nearby river and lakes are home to various fish, such as pike, perch and even salmon. You’ll head out in a small fishing boat or stay along the coast to find the best spots for catching fish. You’ll fish with lures, and your guide will offer tips on which ones to use.

Day 3: Fat Bike Tour

If you’d like to explore nature at a brisk pace, the fat bike is the ideal way to do so. There are plenty of local routes through the woods and along the Råne river valley. Fat bikes are challenging, but a great way to tackle varied terrain such as sand, wood, rocks and rugged trails.

Day 4: Guided Walk

Enjoy a guided walk in the beautiful forests surrounding your lodge. The difficulty of the walk will be tailored to your pace. Meanwhile, the guide will share stories about his experiences and Arctic life. During the walk, you’ll enjoy stunning views and beautiful wooded landscapes. Be sure to bring your camera so you can take some lovely memories home with you!

Day 5: Canoe trip

Today, a canoe trip is on the programme. Near your cabin, a guide will teach you how to canoe, and then you’ll set off together on the river past quiet and peaceful spots. As you glide gently through the water, there’s a good chance you’ll spot wildlife such as birds, moose, beavers and perhaps even reindeer. The guide will take you to the most beautiful landscapes on the water.

Day 6: Visit a Sami family

Today you’ll visit a real Sami family. They’ll introduce you to their herd of reindeer and tell stories about their history and culture. You’ll learn first-hand about life in the region.

Day 7: Return home

Time to head home with a rucksack full of wonderful memories.

Frequently asked questions about this holiday in Swedish Lapland

What is the best time to visit Swedish Lapland in the summer?

Do I need to worry about mosquitoes during a summer trip to Lapland?

In the wooded and water-rich areas of Lapland, mosquitoes may be present, particularly in the early summer months of July and August. However, with good insect repellent and the right clothing, this is easily managed, and the unique wilderness experience more than makes up for it.

How physically demanding are activities such as fat biking and canoeing?

All guided activities are fully tailored to your personal level and pace, making the trip accessible to anyone with a normal level of fitness. The focus is on experiencing nature and relaxation, with the guide ensuring you get the most out of your surroundings in a comfortable way.
