HOLIDAYS TO SWEDEN

THE ICE HOTEL

DAY 1 UK-STOCKHOLM Scheduled SAS flight to Stockholm. Overnight at Hotel Esplanade; small, discrete and on the waterfront. Explore the cobbled alleyways of Gamla Stan, dine on scented reindeer or just relax.

On arrival, check in and lunch at the local Inn, after which collect thermal clothing and take a guided tour of the Ice Hotel and its environs. Later, start the evening with a guided snowmobile tour through the forest with (hopefully) the Northern Lights in the sky above. Traditional Sami supper at a wilderness encampment before returning to Jukkasjarvi. Then, it’s into the “Absolut Ice Bar” to enjoy a special drink – a “Northern Lights” or a “Wolf’s Paw” – before retiring to your Ice Hotel room for the most unusual night of your life. 

DAY 3 ICE HOTEL Wake up to a hot cloudberry juice, take a sauna (optional) and breakfast across at the Inn. Afterwards, get ready for your reindeer sled safari through the forest and across the fells to a “Lavvo” (tent) for a traditional Sami lunch by an open fire before returning to Jukkasjarvi. In the afternoon, you can choose optional excursions either by husky or snowmobile. The final night of your “Classic Ice Weekend” is spent either in a Kaamos, Nordic or Northern Lights room. The local Inn serves Lapp specialities and has both table d’hôte and à la carte menus.
