Day 1: Arrival in Stockholm
Arrival in Stockholm according to your own itinerary.
The Swedish capital has a 750 year old history and a rich cultural life. Stockholm offers many places of interest such as the Royal Palace, Stockholm Cathedral, the City hall and Gamla Stan (Old Town) – one of the best preserved medieval city centres in Europe.
You will find everything from historical buildings to trendy bars and cafes, modern shopping malls to unique boutiques and from vibrant city life to the tranquillity of the Stockholm archipelago.
Accommodation in Stockholm.
Day 2: Stockholm - overnight train to Treehotel
Breakfast at the hotel.
Spend the day exploring Stockholm, both by land and by sea.
We recommend one of the optional sightseeing tours, e.g. the Stockholm Panorama which will give you a good impression of the city and its sights or perhaps try your skills at long distance ice skating on the numerous large and small lakes of Lake Mälaren.
Around 21:00pm, your overnight train to Boden departs from Stockholm. Sleep onboard the train as you speed through the Swedish countryside
Day 3: Day at leisure - overnight at Treehotel
Arrival at Boden train station around 10:30am.
Transfer from the train station to the Treehotel is included.
The Treehotel is located in Harads, near the Lule River. The village has a population of about 600 people and it features a restaurant, shop and guest house.
When you arrive at the Treehotel, you will check in at Britta’s Guest House. From there it is a short stroll through the beautiful nature to your tree room.
The eco-friendly Treehotel consists of six rooms, each designed by a different Swedish architect, nestled between 4 to 6 metres up in the pines. Here you can enjoy the quiet, timelessness and harmony that are found in the tree and the surroundings.
In winter, you can hire snow shoes, cross country skis or a kick sled and explore the surroundings on your own. You can also relax at the Tree Sauna or the hot tub.
Britta’s Guest House has an authentic 1930-50’s setting and offers a restaurant, bar, sauna, TV, and internet access.

Around 11:00 in the morning you take a train from Boden to Abisko with arrival in the afternoon around 16:30 (there is a departure at 6am as well in case you want to add activities in Abisko today). The Abisko hotel is located in walking distance from the train station.
In the evening you will take the chairlift to the Aurora Sky Station, giving you amazing views and excellent chances to spot the Northern Lights. The sky above the mountain station is often clear, even when fog covers other parts of Lapland so the chances to spot the Northern Lights are excellent. You will be provided with warm overalls and blankets.
At the Aurora Sky Station you will find a panorama café selling coffee, tea, cakes and sandwiches, a souvenir shop and look-out tower.
There is also a northern lights exhibition, which emphasizes observing and understanding the northern lights. The observations are made with help of both radio receivers and northern lights cameras.
