Fly to Sweden’s far north, enjoy a range of excursions in the mountains around Björkliden, visit the country’s northernmost ski lodge and spend a sparkling night in the original ICEHOTEL on this five-day holiday. Surrounded by breathtaking views of wintry Lapland, Björkliden is about as remote as it gets and one of the best places imaginable to view the Northern Lights. This five-day tour begins with a train ride from Kiruna to Björkliden and a three-night stay at Hotel Fjället. Two days have been left free for your own excursions. We recommend visiting the Aurora Sky Station in Abisko National Park.
