﻿ Midnight sun and northern light in Sweden

The Midnight Sun

The Midnight Sun is an unbroken 24-hour period of sunlight that only occurs in Europe in the Arctic Circle in summertime when the conditions are right. Which means when it’s not cloudy or raining and the sky is clear. Darkness is banished by the almost constant daylight as night and daytime blur and the unique wilderness landscapes here take on a dream-like quality.

Midnight sun experiences


And how about white-water rafting in the midnight sun on the legendary Trollforsen river? Yes, you really can here. The more adventurous traveler could always take on the challenge of scaling Kebnekaise, Sweden’s highest mountain, go skiing or for the more artistic adventurer how about an ice-sculpting course at the ICEHOTEL.



Summertime in Swedish Lapland, usually between end May and mid-July. However the further north you go, the longer it last.

Nature loving Sweden

Nature & Outdoors? Sweden?
You better believe it. Sweden is one of the least populated countries in the world (195th apparently) and is home to Europe’s last remaining wilderness. Add in its giant, wild coastline studded with archipelagoes, the 700 kilometre long Swedish mountains and its vast forest and thousands of lakes. It’s almost unfair that one country should be this blessed by mother nature.
