The Treehotel and ICEHOTEL

The Treehotel and Icehotel

Stay in two of the world's most unique hotels - the Icehotel and the Treehotel.

Treehouses usually come hand in hand with dodgy DIY and get left behind as the descent from childhood begins. But you'll find a new range of treehouses that have been designed to let you step back into the footprints of youth and explore the DIY of world-class Scandinavian architects. Set inside undisturbed nature, you go to sleep and wake up as though you were one of the forest’s wild inhabitants. You will have the option to choose from five different designs, these include - The Bird's Nest, The Mirrocube, The Cabin, The Bluecube and The UFO.

After exploring the Arctic wildnerness that surrounds the Treehotel, your next adventure brings you to the famous Icehotel - the world's largest igloo. Every year it is built during mid November where it stands throughout the winter until temperatures rise above zero and it melts away back into the river. As well as being a hotel it is also regarded as an art project; inspired by the river Torneälven and built by experienced ice artists who create new and innovative art and design each year.

Day 1 - Sweden, Gammelstad and the Treehotel

1035   Depart Heathrow Airport.  SAS flight SK526.
1405   Arrive Stockholm.  Change flight.
1510   Depart Stockholm.  SAS flight SK12.
1630   Arrive Luleå.

Met on arrival for your guided transfer to the magnificent Treehotel which is located at the small village of Harads. Your journey travels via Gammelstad, which is the old town of Luleå and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

On arrival in Harads you will first check-in at Britta's Pensjonat for your two night stay. Britta and Kent are the owners of the Treehotel and the pensjonat is where you will have breakfast and dinner and leave any bulky items of luggage for ease (climbing into the Bird's Nest is no fun with a heavy suitcase!!).

After checking in you will be shown to your Tree Room.  Make yourself comfortable, why not have a sauna in the Tree Sauna, followed by an icy shower or a roll in the snow (or not!) - basically settle in and enjoy the uniqueness of these magnificent feats of architecture.

A delicious 3-course dinner is served at Britta's before retiring for the evening.

2 nights HARADS - Treehotel

Day 2 - Snowshoes in the forest

Awake to the sound of silence.  The temptation will be to stay in bed and revel in the complete peace and quiet surrounding you, however breakfast is being served at Britta's and your snowshoes are ready and waiting...

Guided Snowshoe Walk with Campfire Lunch
Get up close to the beautiful wilderness with a snowshoe tour. At Treehotel, your guide will equip you with warm clothes, boots, snowshoes and poles. During the tour we’ll share our knowledge of animals and nature, and the art of surviving in the wild – including how to start a fire in the winter. The hike will go up to a mountain peak where you’ll have a magnificent view of the river valley’s winter landscape. We’ll take a break at the campfire and enjoy an outdoor lunch. And since we’re trekking silently over the terrain, there is a good possibility of seeing elk and forest birds. 

Return to the Treehotel for a lovely hot sauna and shower before dinner at Britta's.


Day 3 - Train across the Arctic Circle to the Icehotel

After a leisurely breakfast you will be transferred to Boden where you will board the train to Kiruna.  The train departs at 1100 and crosses the Arctic Circle, heading further into the wilderness of Swedish Lapland.  Arrive in Kiruna at approximately 1400 where you are met and transferred to the Icehotel at Jukkasjärvi.

Spend the remainder of the day exploring the Icehotel

And now for another unique overnight experience!  This time you will sleep in your very own Ice Room on a surprisingly comfortable bed,  covered with reindeer skins, and a cosy thermal sleeping bag to keep you warm.

Icehotel, Jukkasjärvi

The Ice Hotel at Jukkasjärvi was the first hotel of its kind and is therefore perhaps the most extensive of all ice hotel projects. The hotel is built of ice and snow with designs inspired by the local nature i.e. Jukkasjärvi, the River Torne, the cold Arctic climate and The Northern Lights. The Ice Hotel has several different 'room' categories; a snow room which is simple but spacious accommodation where you sleep in thermal sleeping bags on reindeer skins on a bed built of snow and ice or an Ice Room With additional furniture made from ice and unique artwork decorating the room. Those not on a buget may also choose to stay in an Art Suite with ice art in the shape of fantastic design and wonderful sculptures. Standard, of course, is the Ice Bar and lounge where you can mingle with other guests sipping colourful cocktails from glasses made of ice, however you may also choose the warmer option i.e. to sit in the warm building connected to the Ice Hotel around a crackling fire until it is time for bed. A hot drink, breakfast and sauna are included the following morning.
