Winter Adventure at Treehotel & Arctic Bath

Enjoy included UK airport lounge access before boarding your flight, via Stockholm, to Lulea in the southern reaches of Swedish Lapland. On arrival, you’ll be met for a scenic transfer through the wilderness to the forested hills on the outskirts of Harads, home to the famous Treehotel. It’s a designer delight, comprising seven cabins suspended in the treetops, which range from the otherworldly UFO to an all-new bird nest Biosphere, and the aptly named 7th Room, whose floor-to-ceiling windows point north to views of the wilderness and, with luck, private displays of the Northern Lights.

Whichever you choose, you’ll be treated to the ultimate childhood fantasy of a night in the trees, enhanced further by included half-board dining, which begins with a 3-course dinner inspired by the region’s unique ingredients. Expect the likes of Arctic char and smoked reindeer served with forest-picked cloudberries – delicious!

Awake to magical views of the snow-dappled forest canopy before heading to breakfast to fuel up for a day in the wilds. And what a day it should prove to be, as you choose from Treehotel’s spectacular array of excursions, from classic husky safaris to wildlife photography tours and ice fishing trips. There’s the chance to dip into the local culture with a trip to a reindeer farm and Sami village, or to hike along forest trails on snowshoes in the company of an expert local guide. It all culminates with another superb dinner and the chance, once again, to catch the Northern Lights spiralling overhead.

With a free morning at Treehotel, you’ll have time for another optional excursions before checking out for the short transfer to the all-new Arctic Bath, suspended in ice above the frozen Lule River. It’s another fine example of Swedish design, with its centre-piece – a tribute to the region’s logging heritage – hosting a superb restaurant and spa. And, the rooms are just a spectacular, all pine wood features, high ceiling and floor-to-ceiling glass.

Best of all, however, is the chance to really relax, with an included 45 minute Mindful Sauna Experience complete with amenity kit and full access to the saunas and baths, followed up by a culinary feast at the restaurant. It’s a fittingly sumptuous end to your time in Sweden’s Arctic North, as you savour dishes inspired by and created from the finest and freshest local ingredients.

Check out this morning and transfer back to Lulea, where you’ll board your flight home.
