Welcome to our vast wilderness!
Many travellers who visit Northern Sweden for the first time are astonished to discover such a vast, majestic landscape, with such enormous expanses of pristine wilderness and breathtaking scenery, so close and easily accessible from the hustle and bustle of central Europe. The wilds of Northern Sweden and Scandinavia are frequently – and sadly – referred to as ”Europe´s last wilderness”.
For the active traveller and lover of the great outdoors, Northern Sweden offers a tremendous abundance of options, for all ages, abilities and preferences, from the most simple, peaceful, contemplative and serene settings, to friendly adventures for the whole family, to extreme challenges for the most advanced mountaineers and sportspeople. Hiking, downhill and cross country skiing, fishing, canoeing and river rafting, climbing, snowmobiling, cycling, dogsleigh and reindeer rides, icebreaker tours – the options are simply unlimited.
Northern Sweden also features a multitude of interesting sights and attractions, plus pleasant towns and villages for those who like to combine rewarding experiences of nature and culture, with the world famous Icehotel near Kiruna as one of many star attractions. Lapland in the far north is of course home to the Sami people, the native Scandinavians, with their unique culture, handicrafts and traditions.
