Overview

Discover Swedish Lapland at its most atmospheric, when forests glow with autumn colour, rivers run free, and the first Northern Lights begin to dance across the night sky. This thoughtfully designed five-day journey combines two of Scandinavia’s most iconic stays – the ICEHOTEL and Treehotel – with scenic rail travel, Nordic wellness, and immersive nature experiences in far northern Sweden.

Autumn is increasingly recognised as one of the most rewarding times to visit Lapland: Days are crisp and uncrowded, landscapes are rich with colour, and nights grow dark enough for aurora viewing without the extreme cold of mid-winter. These qualities were captured by award-winning travel writer Rob McFarland, who travelled through Swedish Lapland with 50 Degrees North and described the region in his Traveller cover article as being “even more magical in autumn”, highlighting the slower pace, design-led stays and deep connection to nature that define this journey.

Travelling independently, you’ll journey from Kiruna to Luleå through the heart of Swedish Lapland, staying in extraordinary design-led accommodation and enjoying a curated mix of gentle activities, local cuisine and unhurried time in nature — with excellent opportunities to witness the Aurora Borealis along the way.
