The Expedition starts with a training session where our guides instruct you on safety and how to handle the 500cc snowmobiles. We then begin our trip out onto the frozen Gulf of Bothnia. We pass through the Archipelago soaking up the incredible landscape and all that nature has to offer from the virgin forests through to the amazing Arctic horizon. After half a day driving the snowmobiles, we stop for some ice-fishing and a Lapland lunch sitting on reindeer skins around the campfire. Later in the afternoon, we make our way to the Jopikgården, a beautiful, peaceful location in the middle of the forest on top of one of the biggest islands in the archipelago. After driving a further 50 km on the snowmobiles, we stop for a sauna and relaxing shower.  After the sauna, we enjoy a wonderful two course Lapland dinner. We will spend the night in comfortable accommodation in Jopikgården (4 beds to one room).

Day 2 We start the day with a Lapland breakfast at Jopikgården. We prepare to set off and help each other pack the snowmobiles. Our safari takes us through the archipelago heading north between the islands and if weather conditions allow, we travel out to the drift pack ice region. We stop for lunch in the forest, sitting by the campfire on reindeer skins and discussing the mornings events. After lunch, we travel through the river mouth of the Råneå River. We take some time out to look at the incredible landscape while trying our hand at some deep snow snowmobile driving. We make a stop for coffee and snacks by a campfire en route. In the late afternoon we reach a small wilderness camp and husky farm in the middle of the forest.  We have the opportunity to drive husky sledges on trails in the beautiful snow covered forest for approximately 7km with professional guides. After the husky drive, a sauna and hot tub is waiting for us after a long day in the wilderness. A two course dinner consisting of local specialities is served in the cabins. The overnight stay is in a log cabin with sleeping bags.

Day 3 We start our day with a hearty forest breakfast. We prepare for the days journey and help each other pack the snowmobiles.  Then we start our journey back to Luleå and civilisation.  A Lapland lunch en route at a beautiful spot in the forest region and if snow conditions permit, we will try to find a route back through virgin snow.

Out on an inlet of the Skabram Lake, just a few kilometres from the village of Jokkmokk, the starlight, the moon and hopefully the Northern Light all cast a very special light over the Igloo Village and its dome shaped igloos. The beauty of the natural surroundings is the most spectacular part of what the Igloo Village offers you. Welcome to a night in an igloo!

The Victoria Fort offers a unique chance to experience day to day life as it was for the soldiers in the Cold War era. The Fort is the only one of its kind left in Sweden that accommodates guests. Most of the furniture, equipment and even the paint on the walls are original.

For groups who would like to combine training and conference facilities with the opportunity to add adventure trips such as snowmobile safaris, clay pigeon shooting, paintball, Go-Karting, skiing and snowshoe expeditions, fishing trips and wildlife tours, the Victoria Fort offers an original and exciting experience.

Every summer, Vuollerims Village Café becomes a hub of activity from midsummer celebrations, to baking days and tourist buses on their way further north. The Hembygsgården building is very close to the stone-age museum Vuollerim6000 and is a very pleasant way to finish a visit to the museum in the summer months.

Run totally by volunteer staff, the café offers coffee and tea, cakes and freshly cooked waffles most of the summer, together with a good selection of ice creams and soft drinks. There is also a small museum in the building together with some locally crafted gifts for sale. Next door is the baking cabin, which is available for people to hire to bake homemade Swedish bread and buns the traditional way in an open wood fired oven.

Kåbdalis is located between Älvsbyn and Jokkmokk in Swedish Lapland. The winters are mild and snowy due to the geographical location of Kåbdalis. There are four lifts and 9 prepared slopes all offering the chance to experience different degrees of difficulty, three off-piste runs and some tough cross country skiing tracks. All of this makes Kåbdalis a skiers paradise at an affordable price. There is also an excellent restaurant, après ski, pub evenings and many other events every year.

The Sarek National Park is one of the true remaining wilderness regions left in Europe. Sarek is within the UNESCO region of Laponia and is protected. Motor vehicles are not allowed into Sarek and you can wander for days without seeing anyone, summer or winter. Scattered around Sarek are the smaller, but equally beautiful National Parks of Padjelanta, Muddus and Stora sjöfallet.

Having these wonderful places to visit just a three hour direct flight from Heathrow followed by a 300km drive is all very well, but what do you do when you are there? Sarek is wild and foreboding, especially in the winter. Step forward Årrenjarka Fjällby. Årrenjarka Fjällby is a mountain holiday village based in the Arctic Circle just 17km from Kvikkjokk and at the base of all the National Parks in the region. The tourist industry in this region is still a fledgling operation, but this fact has passed Årrenjarka by without a thought. From luxury cabins next to the lake to basic accommodation for passing hikers, Årrenjarka has everything you need as a base for your trip into the Kvikkjokk mountains.

Christmas at the Reindeer Wilderness Retreat on the Arctic Circle couldn't be farther from a traditional Christmas. Surrounded by forests covered in deep snow, the area invokes a feeling that you are living in magical world of hobgoblins and fairies.

You will also wonder at the the perfect peace and quiet you experience at the retreat. With only five hours of daylight, the sky is strewn with an unbelievable atmospheric colour due to the sun hanging low in the sky. The nights provide a breathtaking starlit Arctic Light and even the chance to catch a glimpse of the Northern Lights.

The Jokkmokk Winter Market is coming - Northern Europe's largest winter festival, a meeting place for visitors from near and far. You will find Sami handicrafts, exhibitions and lots of exciting winter events. Don't miss this years 'historic market' which is now celebrated as well as the main market every year since the recent 400 year anniversary.

Jokkmokk market begins on the first Thursday in February and lasts for three days. The population of Jokkmokk explodes over these days and the small community caters for 10 times its usual population. As early as the sixteenth century, Jokkmokk was the trading centre of Swedish Lapland. Here the Sami people sold leather, handicrafts and reindeer while they bought salt, flour, coffee and tobacco.

Today the market consists of a huge and wide selection of everything imaginable. You can taste and the buy some elk and reindeer meat, Sami bread, smoked trout and jams made from berries found in the region. You will always find something beautiful and unique amongst the Sami crafts and there is always something for all ages to choose from.

There are always plenty of activities to enjoy during the market week, such as dog sledding, snowmobiling or taking a helicopter ride and of course the reindeer racing on Lake Talvatis.
