Winter Weekend in Sweden

Staying at a family operated establishment on the edge of the wilderness, yet just a 10 minute walk from Kiruna town, at Camp Ripan you are perfectly placed to enjoy every amenity offered.  There are activities on offer for the whole family to enjoy, whether you wish to explore the snow laden landscapes, visit the world famous and original ICEHOTEL in nearby Jukkasjärvi or be mesmerized by the magical northern lights. Each evening dine on delicious cuisine from a menu inspired by the Sami wilderness featuring ingredients locally sourced where possible.

With an early morning flight you can be settled into your comfortable cabin and be ready to explore by mid-afternoon. You will be invited to sit down for a delicious 3-course dinner and may feel inspired afterward to take a walk out after dark to seek the northern lights. 

As you awake to the beauty of Lapland you will be treated to a sumptuous breakfast buffet before joining a dog sled tour through the snow laden forests of the north. Watch the beautiful landscapes whizz by as you sit back in the sled and enjoy this thrilling ride in the safe hands of an experienced musher. 

Your final full day in Swedish Lapland has been left free for your own exploration. You may wish to pre-book an additional activity and there are many to choose from, including the traditional winter pursuits of snowshoeing and cross country skiing to the more extreme snowmobile safaris or maybe opt for a Sami reindeer experience. As the end of the day draws in, what better way is there to reflect on the past few days than relaxing in the Aurora Spa with a self-guided spa ritual. Enjoy the winter-white landscape through the panoramic windows or venture outside to the warming waters of the outdoor pool where the crisp cold air of the polar night will awaken your senses. If luck is on your side the northern lights may dance above as you relax in the warm waters, offering the perfect end to a perfect weekend.

If a weekend isn't quite long enough, we can arrange for additional nights and activities at Camp Ripan or maybe include a night 'on ice' in sub-zero temperatures at the iconic ICEHOTEL.
