Are you planning a winter trip to Scandinavia? Then this video is for you! Find out how we had the vacation of our dreams in Kiruna!
Have you ever stayed in a glass igloo, looking up at the Northern Lights, as they danced in the clear sky? Or been husky sledding above the arctic circle? Or rode a snowmobile through the forest? Join us as we share our experiences staying in a glass igloo, chasing the northern lights and dog sledding.
Kiruna is the most northern city in Sweden, located in Swedish Lapland, 145 Kilometers above the Arctic Circle. It’s most famous as the location of the worldrenowned Ice Hotel and one of the best locations in the world to see the Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis). It is a great location for Husky sledding, mingling with reindeer, riding a snowmobile through pristine snowy fields, ice fishing, snowshoeing and cross country skiing. In short, it’s the perfect winter vacation!
