Sweden Lapland Tree Hotel - Northern Lights & Dogsledding
???? P L E A S E • S U B S C R I B E - ???? ????
If you're interested in seeing the northern lights, visiting beautiful Lapland, or dog sledding in Sweden, then this is your guide to a trip of a lifetime.
This is your complete guide to the Arctic adventures in Swedish Lapland complete with dog sledding, Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis), snowmobiling, & a trip to the iconic Tree Hotel (aka the treehouse hotel). Our adventure began as we flew through the main Swedish hub of Stockholm and up to Luleå, a city with a population of 80,000 that borders the Arctic Circle. As we stepped outside of Luleå airport, the crisp sub-zero temperatures made us gasp for air. Little did we know that the Arctic adventures ahead of us would be the thing that would truly take our breath away. We arrived at the Treehotel - which is very close to the Ice Hotel and just south of Abisko , a destination in itself, about an 80-minute drive from Luleå in the snow. After a gourmet dinner of arctic char and fresh blueberry dessert, it was time to check into our tree house. We hiked 800 meters up the wintery white path, following the little lanterns that illuminated the snowy hillside. We passed various tree houses of varying shapes and sizes until we arrived at our unique tree house, the UFO. The flying saucer nestled itself in the trees, 20 feet up above ground. Just as though we were in a Star Trek flick, the bottom of the UFO opened up and a staircase dropped down to the ground as if to say, “beam me up, Scotty.” We climbed the staircase and opened the doors to our flying Swedish saucer. From the moment we touched down in Swedish Lapland to our very last day, it snowed. While this may have been beautiful for photos, it’s horrible for viewing the Northern Lights. On our last day, there were rumors that we may get to see the dancing green fairy in the skies. We checked our Aurora app religiously and found out that we may be able to see the Northern Lights between the hours of 9 pm and 11 pm.
As we waited for the Aurora Borealis to flare, we stayed warm by doing push-ups and air squats, forcing our heart rates to soar. All of a sudden, Mother Nature opened her green eyes and pirouetted through the Arctic sky and our hearts seemed to stop. There they were – the Northern Lights – right before our very eyes. The world suddenly seemed to stop rotating, time seemed to slow, and we were there – present with our surroundings and connected to the universe. Scott and I immediately embraced, cognizant of the rarity of the moment and grateful for the opportunity to witness Mother Nature at her finest.
Thanks for watching! You guys rock :)

We headed up to Umea from Stockholm and just hung out for a bit but made time to rent a car and drive up to the little arctic city of Jokkmokk, just above the arctic circle in Swedish Lapland. The weather was a bit rainy but we had cozy accommodation in the Asgard Hostel in town. This part of Sweden has several national parks, is famous for hiking and trekking, and is hope to the Sami people who are semi nomadic reindeer herders. There are several great museums and visitor centers to explore but the real draw is the natural beauty of the area. Forests carpeted with blueberry bushes ready to be gathered; glacially carved lakes still as mirrors, and mountains beckoning the eager adventures. And the occasional fika, of course. Berries can be gathered by anyone and consumed on the fly, which we did with gusto. We started off our visit with a day trip to Stora Sjöfallet national park. In addition to a wonderful, modern visitor center, the nature here is incredible. After our hike, we even glimpsed a giant reindeer bull with massive antlers (massive to us anyway). On day 2, the weather did not cooperate but we spent several hours at the Attje Museum in Jokkmokk where we learned about the Sami Culture from history to contemporary times. It was really fascinating.
We headed back south on our third day (more rain) and stopped to pick up our official arctic circle certificate where we met a gregarious shop owner full of personality then on to Storforsen which is the longest cascade in Sweden and stunning. I hadn't seen anything like it, not so much the rushing water but the surrounding rock formations with mini canyons and water running everywhere.
