TL;DR<\/strong>Swedish Lapland beyond the Arctic Circle offers 20 essential experiences, from chasing the northern lights in Abisko and Kiruna to husky rides and snowmobiles (\u20ac80\u2013140, roughly \u20ac80\u2013140 for a half-day trip) and spending the night at\u2014or taking a day tour of\u2014the famous ICEHOTEL<\/strong> in Jukkasj\u00e4rvi (day admission 325 SEK). February and March are the best months for winter activities and the northern lights, while summer\u2019s midnight sun from June to July is perfect for hiking the Kungsleden<\/strong> (440 kilometres), and late August and early September are ideal for trekking without mosquitoes. Highlights also include the winter market in Jokkmokk and S\u00e1mi culture, complete with its own parliament. The quickest way north is by air via Stockholm to Kiruna; a week travelling independently costs around \u20ac1,000 per person, while an organised tour costs over \u20ac2,900.<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Swedish Lapland covers a full quarter of Sweden\u2019s land area, yet only two per cent of the country\u2019s population lives here. In practice, that means that in this vast northern wilderness, you\u2019re far more likely to encounter reindeer than people<\/strong>. If you\u2019re looking for Santa\u2019s village and commercial Christmas sparkle, you\u2019ll need to head to neighbouring Finland, because here, pure, raw and incredibly quiet Arctic wilderness is in charge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Winter beyond the Arctic Circle isn\u2019t just an ordinary season\u2014it\u2019s more like a world of its own, full of extremes and contrasts<\/strong>. For several weeks, the sun doesn\u2019t rise above the horizon at all, and temperatures regularly drop so low that even your breath freezes onto your jacket collar<\/strong>. In return, you get dark skies that explode with green plasma at night and endless plains of sparkling snow stretching all the way to the horizon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve put these tips together so you can make the most of your journey north, while also knowing where to save money and what to watch out for. I\u2019ll tell you where to base yourself strategically<\/strong>, how to choose a husky ride and how much this Arctic adventure costs. You\u2019ll also learn when the best time to visit is<\/strong> so you can avoid either the clouds of summer mosquitoes or the harshest winter frosts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
