The vibrant city of Kiruna is located in northern Sweden in Swedish Lapland. Kiruna is a culturally and economically dynamic town renowned for the vast wilderness that surrounds it. In addition, it is also celebrated for its boreal forests, impressive mountains and fells, crystal-clear lakes and rivers, along with its biodiversity.

What better way to enjoy winter in Sweden than by embarking on a remarkable excursion, such as this overnight experience in a self-made igloo with snowmobiling from Kiruna?

The fun starts at the meeting point in Kiruna, where you and your group (a maximum of 16 participants) will be greeted by your friendly and seasoned instructor/guide. Next, you'll depart on the 30-40 km (18-24 miles) transfer outside of the city and into the wilderness. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the views along the way! Upon your arrival, you'll receive a thermal suit, winter boots, and a helmet along with a safety and itinerary briefing.

Once everyone has their winter gear on, you'll be provided with an introduction to snowmobiling and snowmobile driving techniques. Children under the age of 13 will be seated in a sled driven by the instructor and mini adventurers ages 5 and under must be accompanied by an adult in the sled. With helmets safely fastened, you'll set out into the Swedish Lapland's picturesque winter wonderland and will feel a thrill like none other as you navigate the snowy terrain, crossing a frozen river.

Returning to the campsite, you'll enjoy a well-deserved lunch break. Then, your guide will give an introduction to 'igloo building' and you'll construct your evening's accommodations with packed snow! Proud of your accomplishment, you'll be treated to a delectable Nordic dinner in the evening around a crackling fire. If luck is on your side, you may witness the vivid colours of the Northern Lights, don't forget your camera! After a phenomenal day, you'll settle into your igloo with a cosy thermal Arctic sleeping bag for the best night's sleep!
