DAY 1

The tour begins in the morning at about 09:50 with a car transfer from your hotel/train station/ airport in Kiruna to the starting point, 15 km north of the city. Here we will equip you with snow pants and winter boots.

If you need to store luggage, you can do so here in our storage room.

We'll travel 10 km by snowmobile and sled through a beautiful winter landscape and on the frozen Torne and Rautas Rivers. The area is teeming with wildlife and along the trail we are likely to see wild animals. Moose and reindeer are often spotted along the rivers, and even if they stay out of view, their tracks are a common sight in the snow.

​​

In December, the river near the camp is not yet frozen so we'll paddle across in raft boats. During the rest of the winter season, we drive snowmobile all the way to the cabins. Our camp is located right next to a wildlife and nature reserve - truly "off grid". Electricity is limited and comes mainly from solar energy, and there is no running water in the cabins. Each one heated with a cozy, crackling wood-burning stove. A true wilderness and enriching experience.

​

After getting installed in your cabins we'll do some "basic survival" but fun activities – like preparing firewood to heat your cabin and the sauna, and fetching fresh drinking water from the nearby Torne river, one of the last unregulated rivers in Europe. The water is clean, clear, and drinkable straight from the source. Don’t worry: your guide will show you how to do everything safely and efficiently.

If you would like to try out more "serious survival" skills, you could try to construct a snow cave to sleep in (totally optional, but a true Arctic experience).

In December and January, we only get about 4 hours of daylight, so we’ll start these activities shortly after arriving to make the most of the light.

 

Meanwhile, your guide will prepare lunch in our warm cabin. We will serve local food made of reindeer, moose or fish with bread, followed by tea or coffee and a sweet treat. Vegetarian meals are available if requested in advance.

​

After lunch, you’ll have time to relax or try out some optional activities.

For example ice fishing, cross country skiing, snowshoeing, ice-skating, air rifle shooting, building a snow cave, taking photos of the beautiful surroundings, etc.

 

In the evening, dinner is served inside our cozy barbecue hut, where you can grill your food over the open fire. While you eat, the sauna will be heating up—perfect for unwinding after a full day outdoors. And yes, jumping into the snow or take a dip in the ice cold river between sauna sessions is totally allowed (and encouraged, if you're up for it).

​

Later, if the skies are clear, step outside your cabin and look up—you’re in one of the best locations to catch the aurora borealis. The northern lights are unpredictable, but out here, with no light pollution and wide open skies, your chances are excellent.

 

The cabins where you will be sleeping are well-insulated and equipped with a bed, duvet, and pillow — just remember to bring your own pillowcase, duvet cover, and sheet. There’s always tea and coffee available in the cabin, made right on the stove. You’ll also be adding wood to the fire now and then to keep things warm and cozy

​

DAY 2

After breakfast, there will be a bit more time to enjoy the camp and activities before we pack up. At around midday, we'll take turns driving the snowmobiles back through the forest. Once we're back at the starting place we'll transfer you back to your hotel, airport, or train station in Kiruna, arriving around 3:00 PM.
