You will travel independently to Sweden. You will be picked up from Luleå Airport or Älvsbyn train station and taken to the guesthouse. There, your tour guide will warmly welcome you to Lapland. During a preparatory meeting, you and the group will discuss the upcoming tour itinerary, answer any questions, and check that your personal equipment is complete. Afterwards, a delicious dinner featuring local specialties awaits you. You will spend the night in the comfortable guesthouse in Älvsbyn.

We start early in the morning in Älvsbyn and head towards Ammarnäs, a small, traditional Sami village on the edge of the impressive Vindelfjällen Nature Reserve. Here your snowshoe adventure begins, right in the heart of one of Europe's largest wilderness regions. Over the next five days, you'll leave everyday life behind and immerse yourself in the tranquil, expansive landscape of Lapland. Our route follows the Vindelälven River, past snow-covered valleys and light birch forests. The daily stages, ranging from 9 to 16 kilometers, are intentionally designed to allow ample time for leisurely hiking, soaking up nature, taking photos, or simply pausing to reflect. Your luggage will be transported in traditional pulkas – the Scandinavian sleds – while you carry only the essentials in a light daypack. After a short introduction, you'll quickly realize how easy and straightforward snowshoeing is. Our first leg takes us along the sparkling river and through pristine birch forest to the Rävfallet cabin. Here we spend the first two nights – a cozy retreat in the heart of the wilderness, perfect for arriving, gazing out over the snow-covered landscape, and letting the tranquility of Lapland wash over you.

Today's plan is a varied day hike – without a pulka, just your light daypack. The trail leads you gently uphill through a quiet birch forest. As soon as we reach the tree line, a breathtaking view opens up across the vast fell landscapes of the Vindelfjäll Nature Reserve and the Vindelälven valley. With a bit of luck, you might discover traces of local wildlife in the snow – perhaps of ptarmigan, moose, snow hares or even a shy wolverine. Back at the cozy Rävfallet cabin, a warming soup awaits you before you unwind in the cabin sauna. A day filled with nature experiences, fresh air, and soothing tranquility – just what you need to recharge your body and mind.

Today's hike takes us to the rustic log cabin Vitnjul. The trail leads mostly through a pristine birch forest – quiet, snowy, and peaceful. After a few hours, we finally reach the cabin, beautifully situated by the river. Enjoy the view of the snow-covered mountains all around. Since it's only a short stage, there's plenty of time for good conversation, reflection, or preparing dinner together. For everyone celebrating New Year's Eve, a very special evening awaits: We'll be grilling elk or reindeer meat, accompanied by typical regional side dishes – and perhaps a glass of wine. We'll let the old year fade away peacefully and hopefully shorten the wait for midnight with a glimpse of the dancing Northern Lights. Then the new year will knock on the door – we'll greet it in a relaxed manner, full of good wishes and with great anticipation for everything that's to come.

Today we return to the Rävfallet cabin. If conditions are right, we can cross the frozen Vindelälven river – a truly special experience to feel the glittering ice beneath your snowshoes. Back at Rävfallet, we'll chop wood while you relax for the rest of the afternoon. In the evening, you can unwind in the sauna while our guides prepare dinner. A perfect end to a day filled with activity, nature, and tranquility.

On the last day of our tour, we enjoy the magnificent scenery one last time. We hike back to Ammarnäs and from there begin our journey to Älvsbyn. Upon arriving at the guesthouse, we bring the trip to a close with a relaxed dinner together – a lovely moment to reflect on the experiences of the past few days.

Your last day in Lapland has arrived. After breakfast, you will be transferred either to Luleå Airport or to the train station in Älvsbyn. Your eventful days in the land of the Northern Lights are now coming to an end – filled with memories of tranquil fell landscapes, snow-covered birch forests, and unforgettable moments in the wilderness.
