Kiruna Airport

The most stunning nature of Sweden in a single guide, and, most of all, is made it CHEAP. I have lived here for a year and had the best budget trips to the backcountry, witnessing northern lights and exploring the wildest nature in Europe. The guide is significantly nature oriented as Sweden has some of the best landscapes of all Europe and it is one of the most beautiful and safest country to do backpacking. It focuses on the central and northern regions as they are the most diverse, filled with mountains and off grid adventures. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The guide is structured as follows: - A google maps plugin included!!! - Introduction - 10 National Parks - 10 Natural Wonders - 10 Backpacking itineraries - 100+ Huts & Cabins - 25 Transport Hubs - 20 Food Supply Stores - 17 Strategic Parking locations - 12 Cities and Villages to stop by

Ever thought about sleeping on ice? How about in an Ice Hotel? Every year, a small, northern town in Sweden makes an Ice Hotel. Located in Jukkasjärvi in the Arctic Circle, it is constructed and designed by numerous ice sculptors from around the world. My recommendation is to fly from Stockholm to Kiruna, then use the shuttle service to Jukkasjärvi. I stayed one night in the Ice Hotel and one night in a normal hotel. Visiting all the rooms, chapel, and sculptures throughout the property is the highlight. You can also enjoy snowmobile rides to see the northern lights, ice fishing, and snowshoeing. There is also a nearby reindeer park where you can interact with real, live reindeer. As well as a Sámi museum to know about the native Sámi culture. Make sure you are well prepared with warm, winter gear. The hotel does offer some clothes and boots for the stay in the Ice Hotel.
