Welcome to Sweden’s northernmost destination!<br />

In Swedish <strong>Lapland</strong> you will find unique arctic experiences. Thanks to the warm Gulf Stream, here high up<br />

by the Arctic Circle, you can experience seasons with great contrasts between polar nights with sparkling<br />

northern lights in a white winter landscape and warm summers filled with swimming and hundred days<br />

without night under the midnight sun. In the east – a 300-km coastal stretch facing the world’s largest<br />

brackish water archipelago, with thousands <strong>of</strong> islands. Sandy beaches, fishing camps and unique produce.<br />

In the west – vast mountains, brooks with water so clean you can drink from them and lots <strong>of</strong> adventures<br />

around the corner. In between the quiet, enigmatic, open-handed forest and river valleys from Skellefte<br />

River in the south to Torne River in the north-east, all with their unique distinctive characteristics to <strong>of</strong>fer.<br />

......................................................................................<br />
