Full Itinerary

Your holiday break begins in Sweden’s beautiful capital, Stockholm – the capital of life and movement. After enjoying an urban lifestyle in Stockholm continue north, 200km inside the Arctic Circle to the world famous Icehotel. Ten thousand years ago, glaciers carved a riverbed and the Torne River was born. Since then, the crystal-clear, pure water of the Torne River has flowed freely along its 600-kilometer path through Lapland out to the sea in the southeast. The entire ICEHOTEL is “on loan” from the mighty Torne River and is a place where time stands still.
