Accommodation in Lappland
Lapland is a magical destination where breathtaking nature and unique cultural heritage meet. Here, you can hike in Abisko National Park, experience the midnight sun or the northern lights, and climb Kebnekaise, Sweden’s highest mountain.
Lapland, Sweden’s largest region, covers a third of the country’s land area and offers unique natural and cultural experiences. It offers vast mountain regions such as Sarek National Park, one of Europe’s most untouched wilderness areas, and the rugged landscapes of Vindelfjällen Nature Reserve. Explore Stora Sjöfallet and Padjelanta National Parks, home to over 200 mountain peaks exceeding 1,000 meters and a rich wildlife.
Lapland is also an important part of the Sámi cultural region, where you can experience traditional food, joik singing, and markets like the Jokkmokk Winter Market. Historic towns like Kiruna and Gällivare offer a blend of modernity and tradition. The 430-kilometer-long Kungsleden trail, stretching from Abisko to Hemavan, takes you through glaciers, mountain lakes, and majestic valleys. With the midnight sun in summer and the northern lights in winter, Lapland is a destination that captivates year-round.
